What Causes a Scooter to Make a Clicking Sound and Fail to Start?
1 Answers
The reason a scooter makes a clicking sound and fails to start is due to issues in the fuel supply system or ignition system. When this occurs, it is recommended to inspect both the fuel supply system and ignition system. Over time, the electrode gap of the spark plug will widen. An increased electrode gap weakens the spark plug's ignition energy, affecting combustion within the engine. This can lead to increased fuel consumption and reduced engine power. In scooters, the term 'step-through' refers to the wide footboard between the seat and handlebars. Scooters typically feature continuously variable transmission (CVT) with an automatic clutch and no gear design. Once started, simply twisting the throttle makes the scooter move, and releasing the throttle causes it to gradually slow down and stop automatically.
