The reasons why a motorcycle won't start after a fall are gasoline entering the air filter and no fuel in the carburetor. Below are detailed explanations and solutions: Gasoline entering the air filter: This can soak the filter element, causing it to block airflow. You can remove the air filter element to check if it's soaked with oil, remove the spark plug, and use the kick starter or electric starter to crank the engine several times to expel the gasoline from the cylinder. Then, reinstall the spark plug and try starting the engine. No fuel in the carburetor: Since scooters use a vacuum-operated fuel valve, the fuel tank won't supply fuel when the engine is not running. After a fall, the gasoline in the carburetor may drain out, causing the engine not to start, and the fuel tank won't supply fuel when the engine isn't starting. You can first turn off the ignition key, kick start several times, then turn the key to start, or use the electric starter for a while to draw fuel into the carburetor.

How to Adjust Direction When a Vehicle Experiences Side Slip?

Methods for adjusting direction when a vehicle experiences side slip: 1. If the front wheels slip, maintain steady throttle and correct the direction to drive out; 2. When the rear wheels slip, turn the steering wheel in the direction of the slip and return to the lane after the rear wheels straighten; 3. If rear wheel slip occurs while going downhill, gently tap the throttle. Vehicle side slip may occur due to the braking system, rotational inertia, or other factors causing lateral movement of the wheels on one axle, leading to side slip issues. During a side slip, the vehicle may experience friction or other phenomena. It is important not to panic during a side slip, maintain control of the steering wheel, avoid letting go of the wheel, and promptly adjust the vehicle's direction to minimize damage from the side slip.

Causes of Slew Bearing Noise

Slew bearing noise can be caused by uneven mounting surfaces, impurities inside the slew bearing raceway, or insufficient lubrication. Uneven Mounting Surface: If the flatness of the mounting surface does not meet requirements, it can create negative clearance in the raceway, leading to noise. Improper installation, whether too tight or too loose, can also cause slew bearing noise. Impurities Inside the Slew Bearing Raceway: Particles such as sand or metal shavings inside the slew bearing raceway can cause noise. In such cases, the machinery often struggles to operate properly. Insufficient Lubrication in the Slew Bearing: Check if the raceway lacks lubrication. If so, adding lubricant can reduce friction between components.
