Thanks for the information.

I looked again at it and found all four bolts, all of them are welded pretty solidly to the frame. Looked to see if they were sheared off and they are not. I think it is what you said that the bolts are stripped out on the engine. The picture attached (it should be rotated 90 degrees clockwise) shows the engine can move up and down on the bolt welded to the frame. Also, I don't think they are sheared because the engine only moves up down and not forward, or backward or side to side. The two bolts on the carborater side are stripped out completely.

So now the big question, how can I fix the engine being stripped out on the bolts? My idea is to pull the engine out and try to fix the threads in the engine with a tap. Is this wrong or more importantly is there an easier or better way to do this?
