What Causes Difficulty in Starting a Motorcycle?
1 Answers
Motorcycle starting difficulties can be attributed to the following reasons: Incorrect starting method: Some users kick-start without opening the throttle, failing to properly control the kicking motion - either applying insufficient force on the kickstarter or not depressing it fully. After unsuccessful attempts, they become impatient and repeatedly kick multiple times, resulting in a flooded spark plug. Insufficient ignition energy: Early AC ignition systems generate inadequate power at low speeds, making starting difficult. Even for fuel-injected motorcycles with digital ignition, if the wiring is aged or the ignition coil insulation is poor (causing energy loss), starting problems may still occur.
