Is It Worth Repairing a Scooter That Burns Oil?

[EllieRose]

Burning oil can be resolved by replacing and repairing the cylinder, piston, and piston rings. The cost is not particularly high. Other parts of the motorcycle are not easily damaged, so as long as the foundation is good and the condition is stable, it is worth repairing. The causes of oil burning are as follows: 1. Fuel Quality: Due to the discrepancy between domestic fuel quality and international standards, a large amount of carbon deposits can easily form in the combustion chamber during engine operation. Carbon deposits are the root cause of various engine issues. 2. Carbon Deposit Buildup: Carbon deposits accumulate in the piston grooves, causing the piston rings to stick together. This prevents the piston rings from sealing properly, significantly reducing their oil-scraping and sealing capabilities. Additionally, sludge can clog the oil return holes, preventing the oil from flowing back normally, leading to increased oil consumption.
