The Briggs and Stratton Engine mount in Mini Baja SAE series (model 20, 10HP OHV Motor) offers various advantages over rigid mounting. It utilizes four rubber dampeners for driver comfort, reduced engine vibrations, and isolation of spark plug noise from vehicle ground. Additionally, it allows the engine to run more smoothly over bumpy terrain by minimizing frame flexing-related stress. Secondly, this mount features bottom studs that enable easy engine removal using a socket wrench instead of two wrenches. The studs are readily available off-the-shelf from McMaster Carr. Thirdly, it facilitates straightforward belt tension adjustment for CVTs with just one wrench. This is achieved by loosening and tightening two bolts attached to a single threaded rod under the engine. Lastly, this mount is constructed using off-the-shelf McMaster Carr components and sheet metal, allowing for easy water jet or laser cutting and bending processes, resulting in accurate and repeatable parts production.
