What are the reasons for a motorcycle's inability to accelerate?
1 Answers
Motorcycle's inability to accelerate can be attributed to the following reasons: Low fuel: A lean air-fuel mixture causes insufficient gas pressure on the piston after ignition, prolongs combustion time, and leads to engine overheating. Signs of a lean mixture include poor acceleration during operation, which improves when manually adjusting the choke or pumping fuel, but returns to weak acceleration without enriching the mixture. This indicates the motorcycle is running on a lean mixture. Excessive fuel: A rich air-fuel mixture results in poor acceleration at low speeds. A rich mixture lacks sufficient oxygen during combustion, leading to incomplete combustion, reduced power, poorer fuel efficiency, and the accumulation of carbon deposits that can clog the exhaust system, exacerbating the acceleration issues.
