Why Does a Motorcycle Leak Oil When It Falls Over?

[VanMaya]

When a motorcycle is upright, the fuel level is controlled by the float and float needle inside the carburetor. When the motorcycle falls over, the fuel level becomes uncontrolled, so it is normal for gasoline to leak when the motorcycle is down. Below are specific details on carburetor maintenance: 1. Cleaning the carburetor and fuel injector: This mainly involves cleaning the idle valve and filter screen. These cleaning tasks should be performed at a professional maintenance and repair center, as roadside repair shops lack the necessary professional equipment, and improper cleaning won't provide any benefits. 2. Cleaning the carburetor should be done in a clean area: The exterior surface of the carburetor should be wiped clean, and internal components can be cleaned using carburetor-specific cleaner or industrial gasoline. In addition to removing impurities, attention should be paid to cleaning gasoline deposits from the surfaces of the components. After cleaning, the parts should be blown dry with compressed air. Avoid using cloth or paper that may leave fibers, as this can cause recontamination.
