I apologize in advance if this information is posted elsewhere, but I haven't been able to find it as of yet. I've tried searching online for a diagram or layout of the 139QMB engine parts and keep coming up short however I change the phrase. So with that, my question is if anyone knows the engine mount bushing size(s) for this engine? I was able to find the suggestion that was made on the old forum as to how to get them out so I will definitely be using that technique. My motivation behind changing them is that when ever I lean into a turn (usually a right turn), I can hear the tire rubbing against the suspension. I've already checked for free-play on the spindle and come up clean and have checked the tires normal spin pattern and found that not to be problematic either. I will admit that most parts that I haven't upgraded or changed on this scooter are roughly 10 years old so they are being changed out regardless. But, back to the original questions topic. When I checked the engine mount bushing on the left side it was indeed dry, cracked and in need of replacement.

Awesome!! Thank you for the very quick reply and the link. That's a whole lot cheaper than the price I was ready to pay for buying those separate.

Thank you for the heads up alleyoop. I went back and browsed some more and found some other things that I wish I had found earlier so that site will definitely be saved to my toolbar. Thank you again!!

So after changing the engine mount bushings, I've found my ride to be a lot better and without the tire rub from before (even while leaning into turns). I've attached pictures of my former gremlins below. I'm not sure how well you all might be able to see the cracks and separations in the bushings, but if I were to put a bolt through each of them and wiggle it around, you'd be able to see the separation much better (Keep in mind that the old bushings could be up to 10 years old as I'm not sure how much the previous owner changed on the scooter during his ownership). Thank you again to alleyoop for pointing me in the right direction of where to get the replacements.
