What are the reasons why the Tie Ma 400 carburetor cannot accelerate?

The reasons why the carburetor does not supply fuel are that the fuel is too dirty, the fuel nozzle is clogged, the fuel filter is clogged, the fuel pressure regulator fails, the throttle position sensor malfunctions, and the cylinder pressure is insufficient. Additional information is as follows: Introduction: The carburetor is a mechanical device that mixes a certain proportion of gasoline and air under the vacuum generated by the engine. Its complete device should include a starting device, an idle device, a medium load device, a full load device, and an acceleration device. Main classification: Carburetors are divided into simple carburetors and complex carburetors. Carburetors can also be divided into downdraft and sidedraft types. In terms of the throttle type, carburetors can be further divided into rotary and lift types.
As someone who frequently repairs motorcycles, I believe the main reason the Iron Horse 400 carburetor can't accelerate is due to internal clogging. Over time, impurities in the fuel accumulate in the fuel jets or float chamber, preventing smooth fuel supply. I've encountered many old bikes with this issue—sudden loss of power and inability to rev up. It's also necessary to check if the fuel pump is working properly, as insufficient pressure can cause poor fuel delivery. Additionally, a clogged air filter affects the air-fuel mixture ratio, and an oxygen-starved engine won't accelerate. I recommend first cleaning the carburetor, using a cleaning agent to flush the fuel jets and passages. If that doesn't work, try replacing the fuel or adding a stabilizer to prevent old fuel from gumming up. Remember to perform regular maintenance, cleaning the carburetor every six months to avoid mid-ride breakdowns. Safe riding comes first—address issues promptly.
