1 Answers
Motorcycle spark plug flooding can be caused by: 1. Improper operation: Prolonged use of the choke while riding can lead to spark plug flooding; 2. Overly rich air-fuel mixture; 3. Engine oil burning issues. Solutions for motorcycle spark plug flooding: 1. Check if the engine has oil burning problems; 2. Inspect the air filter, clean the carburetor, and properly adjust the carburetor's air-fuel mixture, main jet needle position, and lower the float level. The spark plug is a crucial component of a gasoline engine's ignition system. It introduces high-voltage electricity into the combustion chamber, causing it to jump across the electrode gap and generate a spark, thereby igniting the combustible air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. A spark plug mainly consists of a terminal nut, insulator, terminal stud, center electrode, side electrode, and shell, with the side electrode welded to the shell.
