If water enters the engine, thoroughly clean the engine and replace the engine oil before restarting. Remove the spark plug to check if water has entered the combustion chamber. Water in the exhaust pipe can be expelled after starting, and the remaining small amount of water will evaporate due to the high temperature of the exhaust pipe. Check if the ignition system is wet or has water ingress, and whether the air filter and carburetor have water inside. After addressing these issues, you can restart the motorcycle.

What are the precautions for installing car license plates?

Here are the precautions for installing car license plates: 1. No advertising: If there is sales advertising on the license plate, according to the new regulations, such a license plate frame cannot be used. If you insist on driving with it, the traffic police will impose penalty points. 2. Hanging position: The position where the license plate is hung should not affect the safe driving of the vehicle or the identification of the license plate. Hanging it at an angle may prevent the checkpoint camera from capturing the license plate completely. 3. Installation holes matter: The installation holes for the vehicle license plate must have special seals that represent the local abbreviation. If the owner only installs two sealing devices, it does not comply with the national regulations. The correct approach is to install sealing devices on all four installation holes of both the front and rear license plates.

However, in smaller localities, changing instructors not only requires additional fees but also raises concerns about being targeted by the previous instructor.

Why Does the Vehicle Shake When Continuously Accelerating?

The reasons for vehicle shaking during continuous acceleration include fuel system issues, electrical circuit problems, and mechanical problems. Fuel System Issues: Fuel system issues are generally caused by fuel line blockages, leading to poor fuel supply, manifested as engine shaking, unstable idling, and stalling while driving; additionally, fuel pump failure can also cause engine shaking. To diagnose fuel pump issues, disconnect the fuel line and check the flow rate and volume of the fuel. Electrical Circuit Problems: Check if the ignition timing is accurate, as irregular ignition is usually a timing issue; inspect whether the spark plugs have aged, if the gaps are uniform, and if the gaps have changed; also, malfunctioning distributors can cause engine shaking. Mechanical Reasons: Check the engine's operating condition for any abnormal sounds, such as valve noises; inspect the belt's working condition to see if it is loose.
