Check whether there are issues with the fuel tank switch, suction pipe, and the intake pipe between the carburetor and the engine. Below are the relevant details: 1. Carburetor: It is a passive fuel supply system for motorcycles, and its atomization effect directly affects the combustion state of the vehicle, which in turn impacts the acceleration performance. Therefore, many instances of weak acceleration in motorcycles are directly related to this system. 2. Negative Pressure Type: The fuel tank switch of a motorcycle is of the negative pressure type, requiring the engine to be running (rotating) to draw fuel. After the engine is shut off, the fuel tank switch automatically cuts off the fuel supply. If the fuel tank switch is damaged or its suction pipe is aged and leaking, it can cause the carburetor to fail to draw fuel. You can remove the suction pipe and suck on it with your mouth. If the fuel tank switch is not damaged and the suction pipe is not leaking, fuel will flow from the fuel tank switch's pipe into the carburetor. If the carburetor is not spraying fuel (air-fuel mixture) into the cylinder, it is mostly due to a clogged carburetor, which can be resolved by thorough cleaning and adjustment.

Is a 32GB Memory Card Enough for a Dash Cam?

Most dash cams on the market currently use either 16GB or 32GB cards. Here are some considerations when purchasing a dash cam: Stability: Since dash cams operate while driving and during accidents, stability is crucial. It's important to avoid issues like unstable footage or missed seconds due to poor quality. Additionally, battery life is a vital feature for dash cams. Camera Angle: The angle of the dash cam should not be overlooked. A too narrow angle can leave blind spots, compromising the comprehensiveness of the recording. Generally, a camera angle of at least 100 degrees is recommended. Currently, the most common angles on the market are 140 degrees and 160 degrees.

What is the transmission model of the Tayron?

The Tayron uses a transmission from Volkswagen Automatic Transmission (Dalian) Co., Ltd. Volkswagen Automatic Transmission (Dalian) Co., Ltd. (VWATD) is the first wholly-owned subsidiary of Volkswagen Group China. Established on September 24, 2007, the company is located in Dalian and primarily produces the latest dual-clutch automatic transmissions. The Tayron is equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. A wet dual-clutch transmission refers to a dual-clutch transmission where the clutch plates are immersed in transmission fluid. There are two types of dual-clutch transmissions: dry and wet. When using the Tayron's transmission in daily driving, the following points should be noted: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for extended periods. Prolonged failure to change the transmission fluid can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for long durations. While driving manual transmission vehicles, many experienced drivers may coast in neutral, but for automatic transmission vehicles, this can cause the transmission to overheat and may result in a noticeable jolt when shifting back to Drive (D). Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Some drivers, aiming for a "smooth" operation, shift into reverse while the vehicle is still moving, which can significantly damage the transmission gears and lead to gear grinding over time. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in Drive (D). On steep inclines, automatic transmission vehicles may overheat due to high load or shift prematurely, leading to insufficient power. In such cases, use manual mode to lock in lower gears or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck to transport it while the vehicle is in Neutral (N). Avoid using tow ropes or dragging the vehicle directly.

What is the most effective way to protect a car from hail?

The most effective way to protect a car from hail is to park it indoors. Here are some related solutions for hail protection: Park under an eave: For cars parked outdoors, parking under an eave can provide some protection, although it may not guarantee complete safety from hail damage. Purchase a car cover: Standing carports or foldable garages can effectively protect your car during a hailstorm. Use a quilt: If hail strikes suddenly and there's no time to buy a car cover or foldable garage, covering the car with a quilt is also a good option. Just remember to tie the quilt down with ropes to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.
