What does motorcycle flooding mean?

[DiOlive]

Motorcycle flooding refers to the engine failing to start properly, with repeated attempts leading to the liquefaction and deposition of the gasoline-air mixture in the cylinder. Causes of motorcycle flooding: In winter, the engine is very cold, the compression end temperature is low, making it difficult to ignite, which can lead to the accumulation of too much unatomized gasoline in the cylinder, resulting in the spark plug being flooded. Additionally, if the float chamber level in the carburetor is too high, the engine cylinder is not tightly sealed, or the spark intensity from the spark plug is insufficient, it can cause difficulty in starting, all of which are contributing factors to engine flooding. Solutions for motorcycle flooding: For a scooter, the solution is to remove the spark plug, start the motorcycle to expel the flooded gasoline from the cylinder, then reinstall the spark plug and start the engine. Another solution is to let the motorcycle sit for more than half an hour before attempting to start it again.
