Dave Brown Vibra Damp T Beam

[Jerry Wilson]

Inverted I think would be better.  With the cylinder head toward the side,
the weight of the engine is borne by the bolts through the isolators.

When the back of the engine sank pulling the throttle linkage down, it
caused a binding friction between the 1/16" steel push rod and the plastic
tube.

thanks,
Jerry

  Ive used the vibra damp system on beams with an inverted engine,
  which worked fine.   I'm not sure what you mean by a bind in
  the throttle linkage ?    If you mean stalling the throttle servo near
  the end of it's throw, that needs to be fixed- it causes excessive
  current drain, and will contribute to early servo failure.

    I have this mount on an ENYA 1.2 4 stroke.  The engine is mounted
sideways.  My problem is that the engine sags in the mount so that the
alignment is lost after it is run.  This caused a bind in the throttle
linkage.  Is this a common problem with this mount?  The screws are very
tight.

    I would appreciate any advice  from anyone with experience with this
mount.

    thanks,
    Jerry
