It is NOT a good place to mount it and it is not permanent. Good eye! |

I just thought the motor mount was torn and that was holding the engine in place!

I can't believe you guys haven't already seen the combination throttle return spring/torque strap. It's been around.

The fact that you are here says the same for you.
Is that allowed? |

Mine has been mounted in a similar fashion for many years on the hyperpack dart... never had any problems. Greg |

Really that set up didn't present any problems while driving and the reality of it is, throttle return springs are trying to close the throttle all the time. |
