ORP EZ-Set Go Kart Motor Mount Review

[@twinturbo3470]

I have this mount for the Briggs Lo206.....its not as great as it looks

Thanks for the response Twin Turbo! We'd love your feedback on what isn't as great on it, we use them all the time. Although, we should note the 4 cycle mount option is significantly different than the 5 Degree Mount.

@@PointKarting I just find that they don't slide as easily as you think they would(they can bind). Biggest problem is I bought it to make rear gear changes quicker but this isn't the case. I still have to adjust the chassis mounting clamps as well as the sliding bolts when i change gears to get the chain tension just right. The sliding window is very small so you have to figure out chassis mounting location and offset it to slide for chain tension Also the sliding bolts should have been from the top not the bottom(needs a better design) so that you don't have to squat dow and access them from the bottom. bottom line is I bought this to make an annoying job easier and it actually made things worse terrible design......save for money

@@twinturbo3470 Again, great feedback! So far, we have found the sliding motion to be fairly easy when all is aligned correctly. If you are having to change the tension of the base clamps along with the two slider clamps, chances are you are making really big gear changes, or are in a unique position where you are straddling a strut / cross brace on the motor mount area, which can happen. One tip we have with these motor mounts, along with any motor mount is to adjust your 'upper' tension to the front bolt on the top plate, and realize that as the motor mounts wear the tension difference between the front and rear top plate bolts will 'relax' slightly as you tighten and loosen. A mount of this quality however should prevent a lot of this happening!
