"What it turned out to be was that the swing bar that mounts the engine to the frame was sloppy and had too much play in it which allowed for a good amount of back and forth movement of the engine to travel. As I proceeded to repair this problem, I discovered that the inner metal tube within the bushings were wearing out and causing slop which allowed the side to side movement. Since I was having trouble trying to find the bushing required for this fix, I became innovative and rigged something else up which created a stiffer pivot point. And it worked great."
my 2008 MC54-250B has the same issue (worn bushings in the "engine swing Bracket". Can you elaborate on your innovative fix?
I am thinking of having the metal drilled out (to make round, and a new bolt (steel stock, threaded at each end" that would minimize the gap.
you dont by chance have any photos of what you did?
