Karting Question for you guys.

[Nathan Finneman]

Has anybody dealt with the Biland SA250? good motor? competitive? reliable?

I would like to hear some feedback, on these motors etc,

I like the idea of not premixing the gas and the torque, but theres alot of moving parts in that motor is what worries me, and how compeotive is this motor at this altitiude vs two stroke.

Thanks a bunch guys!

[Brad Linkus]

Very reliable if properly maintained. Will outlast any 2 stroke. Can compete at any track against the 2 strokes. Has won many local, regional and national races. We have sold over 200 of them in the USA.

Fabulous motor, the most fun I’ve ever had in a kart!

I put over 2,000 miles on mine with no major maintenance.

Do they race at 390? Or is it (the Biland) still for the heavy guys only, at 420? I know there are a couple different versions of the motor and exhaust, just wondering if 390 is legit?

I love the sound of that motor. Sounds like a Ducati to me.

390lbs Wow try coming off the scales at 450-460lbs with no weight added to your kart..LOL HOWDY Y’all Im ready for push ups with Roger where is that Sally??

I would ask that question to people who owned one of those for a season just to sell it the following year, and switch to two strokes.
I was in Las Vegas for the Supernats and I did not see one Biland. But maybe I didn’t look that hard.

Tom will not let the Biland run in his SKUSA race in Las Vegas after the last 1st place win we had 3 years ago using a Biland off of one of my rental karts. We have won both Tag Masters and Tag Senior with a Biland in Las Vegas. He got so much grief from the 2-strokes about the Bilands winning that he decided to not allow the 4 strokes to run in his Tag classes.

Brad, what you saying is that for motori 7’s owners the future is very dark? because those guys swipe on masters and sr last year. 😕

[Brad Linkus]

No, the Motori7 is a 2-stroke. Any 2-stroke can win but if a 4-stroke wins it is not fair, they should not run with the 2’s, the power bands are so different, blahh blahh blahh. I have heard it every time we have won. Never hear that with any other motor. Leopard wins 80% of the time at most tracks, no problem.

[Angel Ramirez]

Same at your track, ROTAX wins most of the times 🙂

[Brad Linkus]

The Bilands have won plenty of times at IMI, with the right driver of course! Remember Scott Hersh, Ronny?

[Nathan Finneman]

are they legal here in the colorado series? how bad are the two carbs to tune? i hear the eat up tires pretty quick?

any why arent there more running?

[Brad Linkus]

They are still legal to run, there were a few running here last season. TAGUSA is going to take them out of the archived engines for 2010 due to popular demand. The carbs are not hard to adjust and you do not need to change the jets every time a cloud goes over like a 2-stroke. They don’t eat up tires any faster than the other 28-30hp tag engines. The engine is not manufactured any longer so with only about 220 of them in the USA it is difficult to grow the market. I still have a few new engine kits in stock $3500.

[Nathan Finneman]

if the engine isnt made any more, how do you get parts if something catastrophic goes wrong

[Brad Linkus]

We have parts and there are European dealers that have a large inventory of parts. We also make our own clutch shoes, clutch springs, sprockets, wiring harness, head gaskets, and will soon add valves, rings, main bearings, rod bearings to the list.
