RXV engine popping up
 
Got a 2013 RXV. Recently when I take off.It feels like the engine is popping up and smacking the underside of the front seat.When I park the cart.And pull up on the engine.It doesn't really go up that far.And there is no marks on the seat.It looks as though the engine just sits on top of the motor mount.That would be the mount on the front,facing the front end.I can pick up the motor.Should the motor be secured in this spot.Or is it designed to move?I hope I have been clear enough for advice?

Well I see I have no comments. I'm still trying to fix this problem. So here's a picture of the front motor mount. The motor bounces up and down on top of it.Why is the travel so much? I will try to post a picture of the motor mount.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...cd9417caae.jpg

Ok. I figured it out. These pins on the axle have broken off. Now I have to figure out how to fix it. One is sheared off gone. The the other one is broken but it has not falling out. At this point any help would be nice.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...04183deb10.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3b6435c27e.jpg

You might want to find a schematic, like the one in the link.

I'm no expert on the RXV but it looks like you are missing some parts and it may have been installed wrong at some point too? Sort of looks like things are not right but you are definitely missing some parts like the head of the bolt we see the threads for sticking out the bottom of the mount setup.

This is a photo of a modified, lifted motor mount. But you can see compared to yours there is a problem of missing parts on your cart.

There is no place for bolts. I think that's the way it is from the factory. My friends looks just like it.
I bought this from a huge golf cart dealership here in Houston. They did the modifications for for me. I assumed they knew what they were doing.
I think in the meantime, I'll try a couple of big zip ties around that motor mount,to keep the torque from lifting up on it. It's not like this thing has a lot of power anyway. Those two pins sheared off on the axle, and now I got problems.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e7919a7a5f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f5eb3a3bd3.jpg
