The purpose of placing the electric fuel pump inside the fuel tank is to pump the combustion gasoline from the fuel tank into the fuel line and maintain a certain pressure to supply the fuel injector and cold start valve. Its function is to transport fuel from the fuel tank to the engine in the gasoline or diesel engine fuel supply system. Electric fuel pumps can be divided into roller type, turbine type, rotor type, and side channel type according to their different structures. According to the installation location, they can be divided into built-in type and external type. Principle of fuel pump structural forms: Vane pump (turbine pump) characteristics: The pulsation of oil pressure is small, the operation is smooth, the noise is low, and a pulsation damper is not required in the fuel supply system. It is easy to miniaturize, but the delivery efficiency is relatively low. Positive displacement pump roller type rotor type vane type characteristics: The oil pressure is high, but because the operation is not continuous, the oil pressure pulsation is large. Therefore, a pulsation damper is also required at the outlet end of the fuel pump. The turbine-type electric fuel pump is mainly composed of an electric motor, turbine pump, check valve, and safety valve. When the fuel pump is energized, the motor drives the turbine pump blades to rotate. Due to centrifugal force, the blades around the impeller press against the pump housing, carrying fuel from the inlet chamber to the outlet chamber. As the fuel in the inlet chamber continues to increase, a certain degree of vacuum is formed, sucking fuel from the inlet. The fuel in the outlet chamber continues to increase, and the fuel pressure rises. When it reaches a certain value, the outlet valve opens to output fuel. The outlet valve prevents fuel from flowing back to the fuel tank when the fuel pump is not working, maintaining a certain pressure in the fuel line to facilitate the next startup.

What Causes the Jerking Motion of an EFI Motorcycle at Low Speeds?

This issue is primarily caused by insufficient engine warm-up. When the engine is cold, the engine oil has poor fluidity, resulting in inadequate lubrication for the engine pistons. This leads to noticeable jerking during operation. Once the engine temperature returns to normal, this phenomenon will disappear. Below are detailed explanations regarding vehicle jerking: If the engine still jerks when warmed up, the issue may lie with the transmission. Transmission fluid should be replaced every 50,000 kilometers. Excessive impurities in the transmission fluid can cause severe jerking and significantly affect gear shifting speed.

What brand is Tianying motorcycle?

The brand of Tianying motorcycle is Haojue. Below is an introduction to motorcycle-related content: 1. Working principle: When the pedal is pressed, the mechanism pressurizes the spring, causing the outer edge of the spring to lift and the friction plate to disengage. At this point, the friction plate and the flywheel can no longer be linked. Even if the engine continues to run, the power will not be transmitted to the transmission and wheels, allowing the driver to perform actions such as shifting gears and parking without causing the engine to stall. 2. Power transmission: When the crankshaft speed is low, the two friction plates cannot contact the outer shell, and power cannot be transmitted. When the crankshaft speed is high, centrifugal force causes the friction plates to move outward and contact the outer shell, enabling power transmission.

Do motorcycles need to register for color changes?

Whether a motorcycle needs to register for a color change mainly depends on the proportion of the color change. If the area of the color change does not exceed 30% of the body, then there is no need to apply for a vehicle modification registration. Below are the relevant regulations for motorcycle modifications: 1. Required documents: Bring the original and photocopy of the motorcycle owner's ID, the vehicle registration certificate, the vehicle license, and other documents. Fill out the "Motor Vehicle Modification Registration Application Form" at the vehicle management office and submit the application. If the application meets the regulations, the applicant can receive the "Approval for Modification Notice" and proceed with the color change. 2.
