Why does a scooter not move when the throttle is applied?

A scooter may not move when the throttle is applied due to transmission issues or a loose belt. Here are the specific reasons why a scooter might not move when the throttle is applied: 1. Transmission issue: The scooter uses a continuously variable transmission (CVT). 2. Loose belt: The drive belt is loose, as scooters typically use belt drives. Rear wheel assembly problems might be due to improper installation of the brake and drive components. Check the clutch and the belt. If the engine speed does not increase and power is only supplied when braking, there might be an electrical issue. The main feature of a scooter is its ease of operation, comfort, and convenience.

That happened to my little scooter once too. When I stepped on the throttle, it felt completely empty, and the wheels just wouldn't move—it was really frustrating. During my own inspection, I first checked the drive belt and found it completely worn through. The clutch was also slipping badly, definitely because I had been pushing it too hard without timely replacement. I tried replacing the spark plug with a new one, but it still didn't work. Turns out there was too much carbon buildup in the carburetor, blocking the fuel supply. I suggest you try revving the engine to see if there are any abnormal noises, or feel if the transmission case is overheating. In the end, I spent a bit of money to have a mechanic fix it. He emphasized how crucial it is to regularly replace the belt and clean the air filter—otherwise, a sudden breakdown on the road is too dangerous. Never skimp on that maintenance cost.

What is the actual fuel consumption of the Magotan 330 and 380?

The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Magotan 330 is 6.2L/100Km, and that of the Magotan 380 is 6.7L/100Km. Here are some methods to reduce car fuel consumption: 1. Regular vehicle maintenance or checking tire pressure: Regular oil changes can reduce carbon buildup. 2. Maintain an appropriate speed: Try to maintain a steady speed while driving, avoiding sudden braking and overtaking. Additionally, keeping a proper distance from other vehicles can prevent situations where you have to brake hard and then accelerate sharply, thereby reducing fuel consumption. 3. Open windows at low speeds: Generally, when driving at low speeds, you can open both side windows to reduce wind resistance. 4. Plan your route before departure: Planning your route before setting off can save fuel. Driving an extra kilometer each day can add up to an additional three liters of gasoline per month on average. 5. Avoid prolonged idling to warm up the engine: Warming up the car before driving is a good habit, but idling for three to five minutes before driving not only wastes time and fuel but can also damage the car. Therefore, the warm-up time should not be too long and is best kept within one minute.

At what mileage should a family sedan be scrapped?

When a sedan's normal driving mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide its scrapping. Vehicle scrapping process: 1. The car owner applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out and submit one copy of the "Motor Vehicle Change, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, and Scrapping Approval Application Form" with the owner's seal affixed. 2. Apply at the registration acceptance counter. For vehicles that have reached the scrapping age limit, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping age limit but are deemed to meet the scrapping standards after inspection by the motor vehicle inspection counter, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. 3. The vehicle owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle by presenting the "Notice". 4. After verifying the "Notice", the recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos. The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. 5. The vehicle owner must submit the "Change Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the motor vehicle inspection counter for verification and signature. The license plates and certificates will be reclaimed, and the scrapping registration will be processed after approval according to regulations.

What is the maintenance schedule and items for family cars?

Maintenance should be performed based on the vehicle's usage time and actual conditions. The general maintenance intervals are as follows: For 10,000-30,000 kilometers, typically only engine oil and oil filter replacement are needed; for 30,000-40,000 kilometers, coolant replacement and throttle body cleaning are usually required; for 40,000-60,000 kilometers, spark plugs, brake fluid, and brake pads need replacement; for 60,000-80,000 kilometers, throttle body cleaning, transmission fluid change, and tire replacement are necessary. Relevant information about car maintenance is as follows: 1. Introduction: Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle, also known as vehicle servicing. 2. Maintenance scope: Modern car maintenance mainly includes the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, etc.

What is the service life of a family car?

Generally, the service life of a family sedan is 15 years or when the mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, after which it is considered scrapped. However, Chinese law does not mandate the compulsory scrapping of non-operational private family cars. As long as the vehicle meets the annual inspection standards and continues to comply with the scrapping criteria, it can be used without requiring approval. Relevant information about vehicle restrictions is as follows: 1. Regulations: The Ministry of Transport stipulates that since September 21, double-row vehicle transport trucks are prohibited from entering expressways; starting from July 1, 2018, non-compliant vehicle transport trucks are completely banned, and standard freight vehicle models are promoted. Portable overload detection equipment STW-18 can be set up at expressway entrances for random inspections. 2. Cancellation of the 15-year scrapping rule for pickup trucks: The cancellation of the 15-year scrapping rule for pickup trucks is only a new regulation in some regions. However, vehicles that fail the annual inspection or reach 600,000 kilometers in mileage must be scrapped. Currently, most regions still enforce the 15-year scrapping rule.

How often must the tires on a Tiguan be replaced?

Different usage conditions, driving styles, and tire brands can all affect tire lifespan. Generally, a reasonable range is between 40,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Whether replacement is needed depends on specific circumstances. The following methods can help determine if tires need to be replaced: 1. Tread wear approaching the wear indicator: Any brand of tire will have a wear indicator at the bottom of the tread grooves. For passenger car tires, the wear indicator height is typically 1.6 millimeters (this is also the legally mandated minimum groove depth), while for load-bearing tires, it is 2.4 millimeters. 2. Tire damage such as cracks or bulges: Damage includes tread cracks, tread bulges, missing tread rubber, severe sidewall wear, or multiple punctures by foreign objects. Especially with bulges, there is a risk of sudden tire failure. If any such damage is found, it is advisable to visit a professional tire shop promptly for inspection and replacement. 3. Tire age expiration: Tires typically have a service life of about 3-5 years. Beyond this period, tires begin to age, primarily manifested as surface hardening and the appearance of cracks. Aged tires lose their elasticity, and continued use can lead to tread deformation, increasing the risk of a blowout.
