What to Do When a Scooter Motorcycle Won't Start After Getting Wet?
1 Answers
Check after shutting down. Here are the relevant details: 1. Specific situation: If the motorcycle stalls and won't start after passing through water, stop trying to start it immediately. Inspect whether the air filter, carburetor, or exhaust pipe has taken in water. Clean the air filter and carburetor thoroughly—once cleared of water, the motorcycle should start. Additionally, check if water has entered the engine. If the engine is waterlogged, the oil must be replaced, and you must ensure all water is drained before restarting. 2. Special cases: If there is no water in the air filter, carburetor, or engine but the motorcycle still won't start, the issue might be moisture in the ignition system components such as the high-voltage cap, ignition coil, ignition unit, or magneto coil, or their wiring connectors. In this case, no repairs are needed—simply let the motorcycle dry completely, and it should start again.
