If the car radiator freezes, the following situations may occur: the liquid inside the car cannot circulate, and the car continues to overheat without dissipating heat. The function of the car radiator is to dissipate excess and unnecessary heat from the engine, ensuring that the engine operates at normal temperatures under various speeds or driving conditions. The reasons for high temperature in the car radiator include: 1. Insufficient water level; 2. Radiator blockage, leading to poor circulation and backflow; 3. Radiator leakage obstructing water circulation; 4. Abnormal operation of the thermostat in switching between large and small circulation; 5. Damaged cooling fan or short circuit in the wiring causing the fan to stop working, or the cooling fan rotating very slowly; 6. Problems with the fan water temperature sensor.

What Causes Strong Jerking When Closing the Throttle on a Motorcycle?

There are three main reasons for strong jerking when closing the throttle on a motorcycle: Spark plug carbon deposits: This may be due to carbon buildup on the spark plug, leading to excessive resistance between the electrodes and preventing continuous ignition (normal operation resumes after carbon deposits fall off). Faulty high-voltage cap or ignition coil: The issue may stem from a malfunctioning high-voltage cap or ignition coil, causing intermittent ignition. If not replaced promptly, the problem will recur. Slide carburetor: A slide carburetor may cause fuel supply interruption during rapid throttle opening. Additionally, riding a motorcycle in cold winter conditions with slippery roads increases the risk of accidents.

How Thick Should Jumper Cables Be?

Automobile jumper cables have specifications based on wire gauge, measured in square millimeters. For general household sedans, it is recommended to use copper cables with an outer diameter of 10mm or larger. Selection should be based on the vehicle's displacement: Do not randomly choose jumper cables as improper usage can easily damage the battery. The vehicle's displacement determines the appropriate jumper cables; one should not opt for cheap, unverified quality cables. Selection should also consider the car battery's current: The higher the current, the thicker the jumper cables needed. Using cables that are too thin may lead to current leakage, which not only harms the battery but also increases safety risks.

Both aim to enrich the air-fuel mixture, making it easier to start the engine when cold. The function of the motorcycle choke: The choke is a unique device in carburetor-type gasoline engines, which can adjust the concentration of the air-fuel mixture for easier starting.
