The reason for a motorcycle not starting after running out of fuel and refueling is: The motorcycle's engine has been damaged. Related introduction: 1. Principle: Running out of fuel generally causes damage to the engine. While cleaning the carburetor, cleaning the fuel tank, and replacing the spark plug, it is also necessary to pay attention to changing the engine oil according to maintenance requirements. When using any vehicle with an engine, engine oil must not be saved. 2. Engine introduction: An engine (Engine) is a machine that can convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, etc. For example, an internal combustion engine usually converts chemical energy into mechanical energy. The engine can refer to both the power generation device and the entire machine including the power device.

I've been riding motorcycles for over a decade and have encountered several situations where the bike wouldn't start after running out of fuel and refilling. The most annoying issue is air entering the fuel line, causing vapor lock that blocks fuel flow. Once, I pushed my bike to a gas station, and after refueling, no matter how many times I pressed the start button, there was no response. After troubleshooting for a while, I found that air had accumulated in the fuel system, requiring manual loosening of the fuel pump screw to bleed the air and allow fuel to flow again. Additionally, spark plugs can easily get soaked in fuel or become dirty, affecting ignition. When I took mine out, they were severely carbon-fouled, so I had to clean or replace them. Another possibility is a drained battery—after multiple ignition attempts, the battery might not have enough power. I've experienced weak starts due to this, requiring a recharge or some rest time. My advice is to develop good habits: refuel promptly before running out, and regularly check spark plugs and fuel lines to prevent issues.

What are the symptoms of an air leak in a car engine?

An air leak in a car engine can result in increased exhaust emissions and reduced acceleration power. Here is additional information about engine air leaks: 1. Causes of air leaks: Clogged air filters or poor working conditions can allow sand, dust, and other particles to enter the valve guides, causing wear on the valve stems and guides. This leads to uneven wear between the valve heads and seats, compromising the seal and resulting in air leaks. Valve heads located in the upper part of the combustion chamber are constantly exposed to high-temperature, high-pressure gas, making them prone to erosion and leaks. Incorrect valve clearance adjustment, either too small or nonexistent, can cause the valve train components to expand when heated during operation. This may result in the rocker arm head pressing against the valve stem end, preventing the valve from closing properly and causing leaks. 2. Solutions: During maintenance, thoroughly clean carbon deposits in the cylinder, especially on the valve stems, valve seats, and seat openings. Carefully inspect the number of erosion spots and the width of the contact band on the valve cone surface. If the contact band is too wide or there are many erosion spots, use a reamer to adjust and lap the surface. If the valve seat ring is damaged, the valve head is warped, or the stem is bent, replace the valve or valve seat ring. If the issue is due to insufficient valve clearance, readjust the clearance to meet the required specifications.

What brand of spark plugs does the Roewe 350 come with from the factory?

The Roewe 350 comes with NGK double platinum PFR6Y spark plugs from the factory. The replacement cycle for this type of spark plug is 40,000 kilometers. Spark plugs are a crucial component of a gasoline engine's ignition system. They introduce high-voltage electricity into the combustion chamber, causing it to jump across the electrode gap and produce a spark, thereby igniting the combustible mixture in the cylinder. If a spark plug is damaged, it can directly cause issues such as leakage in the vehicle's ignition system, increased fuel consumption, and reduced power. The most significant problem is difficulty in ignition, which affects the normal operation of the vehicle. Severe erosion of the spark plug, such as blistering at the top, damage, or melting and erosion of the electrodes, indicates that the spark plug is destroyed and should be replaced. Steps for replacing spark plugs: Open the engine hood, lift the plastic cover of the engine, and remove the high-voltage distributor wires. Mark each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. While removing them, check for any external debris like leaves or dust and ensure they are cleaned thoroughly. Place the new spark plug into the spark plug hole, hand-tighten it a few turns, and then use the socket to tighten it further. Reinstall the removed high-voltage distributor wires in the order of the ignition sequence and secure the cover.

Is it necessary to replace the oil drain plug during car maintenance?

It is not always necessary to replace the oil drain plug during car maintenance. The specific circumstances are as follows: 1. Depending on the vehicle model: Some vehicle models require the oil drain plug to be replaced every time the oil is changed. 2. Reason for replacement: The main purpose of replacing the oil drain plug with a new one during each oil change is to prevent oil leakage. Relevant information about the oil drain plug is as follows: 1. Oil pan drain plug: This is a screw located at the bottom of the engine oil pan. 2. Function: When the engine requires an oil change during maintenance, this screw is loosened to drain the old oil from the engine. After tightening the screw, new oil is added through the engine's filling port.

Is Antifreeze the Same as Coolant?

Coolant and antifreeze are the same, with no difference. The full name of antifreeze is antifreeze coolant, which serves two purposes: 1. When the vehicle is not running, it prevents freezing. Since the antifreeze is in the engine block, liquid turning into solid will expand in volume, which could crack the engine block. 2. After the vehicle starts, it cools the engine to prevent overheating, which could damage the engine. Not replacing the antifreeze for a long time will cause its quality to deteriorate, reducing its anti-rust properties and damaging components like the radiator and pipes. It will also affect the boiling and freezing points, impacting the antifreeze or cooling performance and potentially harming the engine.

Why does the fuel dispenser run idle without dispensing fuel?

Here are the reasons why a fuel dispenser may not dispense fuel: 1. Failure of the oil-gas separator: When the oil valve of the oil-gas separator in the fuel truck gets stuck, it can cause the fuel dispenser to fail in dispensing fuel. 2. Failure of the vane pump: The overflow valve of the vane pump cannot close; the vane springs inside the pump, which rotate at high speed with the rotor for a long time, may wear out or break due to fatigue, leading to increased internal leakage of the vanes. In severe cases, this can cause the fuel dispenser to fail in dispensing fuel. 3. The solenoid valve of the fuel dispenser cannot open: If the wiring of the solenoid valve is disconnected or the relay or lamp valve board is damaged, the solenoid valve may fail to open, subsequently causing the fuel dispenser to not dispense fuel.
