Abstract
To provide a structure for stably supporting an engine in which front and rear portions of the engine are elastically supported. A drive pulley of a V-belt type transmission is mounted on an end portion of a crank shaft of the engine. A driven pulley of the V-belt type transmission is mounted to an input shaft of a gear box. The engine and the gear box are separately supported on the body side. A crank case of the engine is supported on the body side through a front side elastic mount and a rear side elastic mount disposed at front and rear portions. A ring bushing is fitted in a front side body mounting portion provided on a front portion of the crank case, and a mount rubber is fitted in a rear side body mounting portion. The front side elastic mount of the front side body mounting portion is higher in hardness than the rear side elastic mount of the rear side body mounting portion.
