Mounting and Securing the Engine
The four threaded sockets (UNC- ½“) for mounting the 2704 engine (Illus. 1.2.1-1) are
located on the underside of the crankcase.
Illus. 1.2.1-1
(Engine Mounting Sockets)
The engine should be mounted so that the moment transmitted from the engine to the mount
can be on the broadest base as possible. The shock mounts used should be as stiff as possible,
because the engine vibration can result in a mounting that is not secure. This leads to
problems with the fuel mixture (i.e. foaming of the fuel, uncontrolled flapping of the fuel
pump membrane) and with that to unsafe operation of the engine.
-Recommendation:
The engine is bolted to a plate that is about twice the size as the underside of the engine (the
wider the better). On the two outsides of the plates, there should be six or more rubber
dampeners, three on each side, in line. This entire assembly will be fastened through the
rubber dampener elements onto another plate that in turn is tightly connected to the apparatus.
