What causes oil leakage after a motorcycle falls over?
1 Answers
There are several situations where oil leakage occurs after a motorcycle falls over: carburetor leakage and fuel spillage from the fuel tank. Methods to handle motorcycle oil leakage: First, clean the motorcycle's engine, then use aluminum repair agent to fix the leaking area. If this does not resolve the issue, promptly send it to a repair workshop for maintenance. Reasons for carburetor leakage: Because the motorcycle carburetor usually maintains a constant liquid level in the float chamber, if the vehicle falls, the liquid level will rise, causing fuel to flow out through the carburetor return pipe. Since carburetor motorcycles rely on gravity for fuel supply, the float in the float chamber is linked to a switch that controls the amount of gasoline entering the carburetor. If the switch fails, gasoline will continuously enter the carburetor under gravity, flowing into the engine intake and air filter. Therefore, an overflow pipe is designed to discharge excess gasoline through the pipe below the carburetor when the float switch fails to close. Fuel spillage from the fuel tank: This phenomenon generally occurs on motorcycles that have had their fuel tank caps replaced. If it is the original fuel tank cap, only a small amount will leak out slightly because the fuel tank cap has an exhaust hole.
