g'day,

it's quiet common for engines to only have 3 mounting bolts in certain
applications, b&s usually end up that way if they wanted 4 bolts then
the chassis would be made to accomodate that. and with 3 bolts firmly
fitted nothng can happen well in all my years of mower mechanicing
i've never seen any problems.

if you have the warewithall then you can always drill another hole and
fit anothe bolt, might be a bit like wearing braces on your undies
though hey chuckle.
