Check if the motorcycle's switch is turned on. Verify if there is gasoline in the fuel tank. Observe whether the spark plug is igniting normally. If the ignition is unstable, clean the carbon deposits from the spark plug head. Below is more information about spark plugs: 1. The spark plug is a critical component of a motorcycle engine. The normal combustion of the air-fuel mixture is key to the engine's proper operation. First, the type of spark plug used varies by engine, mainly differing in heat range and thread size, so it's essential to use the specified spark plug model. 2. For normal engine combustion, unscrew the spark plug and observe; the electrodes should normally be reddish-brown. If they appear black, indicating carbon deposits, it means the air-fuel mixture is too rich and combustion is incomplete. Clean the carbon deposits using a pointed tool to remove buildup from the central electrode groove and the L-electrode.

What are the advantages of manual transmission compared to automatic transmission?

Compared to automatic transmission, manual transmission has the following advantages: 1. Price: Manual transmission models are usually cheaper than their automatic counterparts with the same configuration, typically by around 10,000 yuan. The two versions have identical configurations, exterior, and interior, with the only differences being that the automatic version includes tire pressure monitoring and cruise control. However, manual versions also often come with cruise control; for example, the Changan CS15 manual models (except the entry-level version) all feature cruise control. 2. Performance: If a manual transmission is of good quality and used correctly, it is almost impossible to malfunction and has a long service life. As long as the owner is willing, they can drive the car until it's scrapped without needing to change the gear oil.

What are the reasons for slow acceleration and lack of power?

Slow acceleration may be caused by the following reasons: 1. Clutch slipping: The main symptom of clutch slipping is that when accelerating during driving, the vehicle speed does not increase with the rise in engine RPM. The engine's power cannot be fully transmitted to the drive wheels, resulting in weak driving performance, especially noticeable when going uphill. 2. Engine problems: The power source comes from fuel combustion, and the engine is responsible for supplying fuel and converting chemical energy into mechanical energy. Therefore, when experiencing weak acceleration and slow speed increase, the engine system should be a key focus for inspection. 3. Engine fuel system malfunction: Issues such as a faulty fuel pump or clogged fuel filter can reduce engine power, leading to excessively slow acceleration.

Is It Worth Repairing a Scooter That Burns Oil?

Burning oil can be resolved by replacing and repairing the cylinder, piston, and piston rings. The cost is not particularly high. Other parts of the motorcycle are not easily damaged, so as long as the foundation is good and the condition is stable, it is worth repairing. The causes of oil burning are as follows: 1. Fuel Quality: Due to the discrepancy between domestic fuel quality and international standards, a large amount of carbon deposits can easily form in the combustion chamber during engine operation. Carbon deposits are the root cause of various engine issues. 2. Carbon Deposit Buildup: Carbon deposits accumulate in the piston grooves, causing the piston rings to stick together. This prevents the piston rings from sealing properly, significantly reducing their oil-scraping and sealing capabilities. Additionally, sludge can clog the oil return holes, preventing the oil from flowing back normally, leading to increased oil consumption.
