4 cycle shifter class
I have heard that 4cycle shifters might be available at a lower cost than 2cycle. If so and I can sell my rotax and other personnal items this might be a cool option. I could race myself if need be to help generate interest. Does anyone have any information on this type of race kart?

We'll see, I can't even consider it untill after febuary if even then. I have a feeling I'll be running by myself as most shifters are 2cycle. I just think four cycle is the way to go in the future. The one I have seen is good for three hundred hours on the engine and about 25hp stock. I hate to give up Rotax but running a new class might help with options for others.

Re: 4 cycle shifter class
Greg,
Where did you hear about 4 stroke shifters? I have seen some before they are all one offs.
I have a Biland SA250, and service requirements are the same as what you quoted. 100 hours to valve lap and adjust, 300 to rebuild. Supposedly the motor has about 30-35 hrs on it. I pulled the valve cover, excellent. I pulled the head last weekend to check because it has sat for 4 years. Cross hatching still intact. It still needs some work before track ready (mostly kart) but it will be interesting to see how it last per what I have read and heard.
I am new to karting but not motors. For me 4 strokes seem like the only way to go for my money. Plus I can work on them and save some money.
I would like to see or hear anything you have found on these. Definitely has my interest.
Thanks
Mike
