Motorcycle can start but not move may be due to damaged automatic centrifugal clutch, broken transmission belt, insufficient piston thrust, carburetor water ingress or blockage, or burnt spark plug. Damaged automatic centrifugal clutch: Improper clutch operation or failure to return to position causing the motorcycle to start but not accelerate or move. A faulty automatic centrifugal clutch needs replacement or repair. Broken transmission belt: Generally caused by a faulty pulley or belt, which requires opening the rear transmission system for inspection. If the belt is broken or has significant gaps, a new belt must be replaced. Insufficient piston thrust: Lean fuel mixture causing insufficient gas thrust on the piston after ignition, leading to prolonged combustion time and engine overheating. Carburetor water ingress or blockage, burnt spark plug: Check if the fuel line is blocked. Loosen the bottom screw of the carburetor to let the gasoline flow for a while before tightening it. If dirt has entered the carburetor, check the spark plug. The carburetor needs cleaning or replacement after prolonged use, and a burnt spark plug must be replaced promptly.

What Size Wire is Needed for a Home Car Charging Station?

Home car charging stations require 2.5 square millimeter wires, preferably copper wires for higher safety. The "square" in charging wires refers to the cross-sectional area of the wire, and both 2.5 square and 4 square wires can support high-power household appliances. Here is more related information: Types of Charging Stations: By installation method, they can be divided into floor-mounted charging stations and wall-mounted charging stations. Floor-mounted charging stations are suitable for installation in parking spaces near walls. By installation location, they can be divided into public charging stations and dedicated charging stations. Public charging stations are built in public parking lots (garages) combined with parking spaces to provide public charging services for social vehicles. Dedicated charging stations are built in parking lots (garages) owned by construction units (enterprises) for use by internal personnel of the unit (enterprise). By the number of charging interfaces, they can be divided into single-charging and multi-charging stations. Technical Principles: The control system of fast chargers adopts an intelligent variable pulse charging method, which includes charging pulse T1, intermittent pulse T2, and discharge pulse T3. The charger consists of a rectifier that converts input AC power to DC power and a power converter that regulates DC power. By plugging the wired plug into the matching socket on the electric vehicle, DC power is input into the battery for charging. The charger is equipped with a locking lever to facilitate plug insertion and removal, while the lever also provides a signal to confirm that it is securely locked for safety. Based on communication between the charger and the vehicle's battery management system, the power converter can adjust the DC charging power online, and the charger can display charging voltage, charging current, charging amount, and charging cost. This is just the principle of the charging station, and many detailed issues should be continuously improved in practical applications.

What is the best resolution for a dash cam?

The optimal resolution for a dash cam is 1080P. Compared to other resolutions, 1080P records clearer videos than 720P but is slightly inferior to 1200P. However, higher resolution results in larger video file sizes, with 1200P files being larger than 1080P. Therefore, 1080P is currently the best resolution for dash cams. Dash cams are designed to record driving processes, and the clarity of the recorded video is crucial. The most important performance indicator for video clarity is resolution, which refers to the number of pixels per inch. Thus, the resolution depends on the pixel size. Generally, when the display size of a dash cam is fixed, larger pixels result in higher resolution and clearer images. For dash cam pixels, the front cameras of dual-lens dash cams typically have 5 megapixels or 12 megapixels, while the rear cameras usually have 2 megapixels or 5 megapixels. Clarity is mainly divided into standard definition and high definition, with high-definition dash cams offering resolutions such as 720P, 1080P, and 1200P. The specific resolution can be chosen based on the memory card capacity. Larger capacities allow for higher resolutions. For example, a 16GB memory card can record approximately 200 minutes of video at 720P resolution, but only about 100 minutes at 1080P. Larger memory cards store more videos for longer durations. When purchasing a memory card, it is recommended to choose one with a read/write speed of Class6 or higher, preferably Class10, to ensure better video quality. Additionally, opt for genuine, reputable brands for better quality and reliability.

Is the paint sprayed at a 4S shop the same as the original car paint?

4S shop sprayed paint is not the same as the original car paint. Below are the differences and methods of painting: Differences in painting: The painting environment, methods of operation, and texture of the paint at a 4S shop are all different from the original factory car paint. The original factory car paint is applied using a mechanized spraying method, which is more refined and standardized, significantly differing from manual spraying. Methods of painting: Factory painting workshops generally use thermal radiation to bake the car body, with temperatures as high as 200 degrees. The baking process is also very complex, involving heating stages, temperature maintenance stages, and rapid cooling. This results in an extremely high-quality paint surface with excellent strength and stability. 4S shops typically use baking lamps for the baking process.

Which Button is for Car Dehumidification?

Car dehumidification is controlled by the AC button. There isn't a dedicated button for dehumidification in cars; simply turning on the air conditioning will achieve dehumidification. The AC button is the switch for the air conditioning's cooling function. Pressing the AC button activates the air conditioning to adjust the temperature according to the set level, during which the compressor starts, increasing the engine load. Precautions for using car air conditioning include: 1. Turn off AC during startup and rapid acceleration; 2. Avoid setting the air conditioning temperature too low—maintaining a 5 to 6-degree difference between the interior and exterior temperatures is sufficient; 3. Based on the principle that cold air sinks and hot air rises, when adjusting the air vents, direct them upwards when cooling and downwards when heating.

Can Car Air Conditioning Compressors Be Repaired?

Car air conditioning compressors can be repaired, but the specific issue needs to be diagnosed first. The compressor is a critical component of the car air conditioning refrigeration system. Unlike non-moving parts such as condensers and evaporators, the compressor operates at high speeds during system operation and is a high-precision electromechanical device, making it prone to malfunctions in practical use. The function of the compressor is to regulate the start-stop state of the air compressor, allowing it to rest by adjusting the pressure in the air storage tank, which helps maintain the engine. The working principle of the compressor involves drawing refrigerant from the low-pressure area, compressing it, and then delivering it to the high-pressure area for cooling and condensation. The heat is dissipated into the air through the radiator fins, and the refrigerant changes from a gaseous to a liquid state while the pressure increases.
