Anybody else have the vibration from the motor get stronger while sitting still at idle and pulling in the rear drum brake?
Only thing I can think of is the shoes are mounted to the engine case(isolated from the rear wheel)and when the shoes come in hard contact with the drum,,the engine vibration travels through the wheel from the shoes,, into the frame causing this phenomenon...the rubber motor mounts are no longer isolated because the motor becomes ONE with the frame through the wheel,,when you release the rear brake now the motor is isolated through the rubber mounts and its smoother.
Any other theories on this i would love to hear!!
