What to Do When a Motorcycle Suddenly Stalls and Won't Start While Riding?
1 Answers
Reasons and solutions for a motorcycle suddenly stalling and failing to start while riding: 1. Fuel supply failure: With fuel in the tank confirmed, check if there is fuel in the carburetor. If there is no fuel, it indicates a blockage in the fuel line from the tank to the carburetor, which should be cleaned and unclogged. If there is fuel in the carburetor but the engine still won't start, check if the carburetor fuel filter is clogged or if the main jet has debris. 2. Engine overheating: Excessive temperature and poor lubrication can cause the piston and cylinder to seize, leading to stalling. After diagnosis, first check if there is lubricating oil in the crankcase. If there is little or no oil, inspect the oil pan or drain plug for leaks. Address the issue and then refill with the specified amount of lubricating oil.
