What to Do When a Motorcycle Won't Start After Long-Term Storage?
1 Answers
Methods for starting a motorcycle that has been stored for a long time: Due to prolonged disuse, the gasoline in the carburetor evaporates and deteriorates, clogging the carburetor's jets. A thorough and careful cleaning of the carburetor should resolve the issue. Reasons why a motorcycle won't start: 1. Carburetor issues, typically due to prolonged use. 2. Spark plug problems, sometimes caused by fuel flooding the plug. 3. Weather conditions. For example, cold winter weather can make it difficult to start. 4. Frequent use of the electric starter can drain the battery if the motorcycle doesn't start, potentially damaging the battery. 5. Idle speed issues. Sometimes, failure to start may be due to low idle speed. In summer, the idle speed should be adjusted so the tachometer needle points to one mark or slightly more, while in winter, it should be adjusted to one and a half marks or below two.
