The reasons why a motorcycle keeps stalling due to insufficient fuel supply are as follows: Fuel system malfunction: Blocked fuel lines, poor carburetor fuel supply, etc., can cause the motorcycle to frequently stall during operation. Ignition system malfunction: Short circuits in the trigger coil, slight damage to the igniter, or leakage in the high-voltage coil can also lead to this issue. Engine malfunction: Too small valve clearance, worn valves, or insufficient engine lubrication can also cause the motorcycle to experience this problem. Additional information: Precautions: During normal operation, if the motorcycle suddenly cannot accelerate and the speed gradually decreases uniformly, followed by the engine stalling on its own, check if there is fuel in the carburetor when the fuel tank is confirmed to have fuel. If there is no fuel, it indicates a blockage in the fuel line from the tank to the carburetor, which should be cleaned and unclogged.

My motorcycle used to have the same problem - it would always stall and fail to deliver fuel, which was incredibly frustrating. The most common cause is a clogged fuel line, where dirt gets stuck in the fuel pipe or carburetor, preventing fuel from reaching the engine. Also, if the spark plug is old or has too much carbon buildup, it won't ignite properly and will fail when you accelerate. A dirty fuel filter can also restrict fuel supply, and this issue is more likely to occur in cold weather when the fuel thickens. Low fuel levels in the tank or poor fuel quality can also cause this. So, I recommend regularly cleaning the fuel system and replacing the spark plug and filter. If that doesn't solve the problem, check if the fuel pump is faulty or if there's an issue with the electronic system. Take it to a professional repair shop immediately to ensure riding safety.

When encountering frequent motorcycle stalling and fuel supply issues, I think it's necessary to troubleshoot step by step. First, check the fuel system – clogged fuel lines, dirty filters, or a weak fuel pump could all cause fuel starvation. For the ignition system, burnt spark plugs or faulty coils can make the engine suddenly stop. A clogged air filter disrupts the fuel-air mixture ratio, leading to stalling. Electronic components like a faulty ECU can also disrupt fuel supply. I recommend starting with simple fixes: clean the fuel lines, replace spark plugs, and check the air filter's cleanliness. If that doesn't solve it, use tools to test fuel pump pressure or wiring connections. Safety first – don't force the ride if unresolved.

My beloved bike had the same issue before, it kept cutting out and stalling while riding, which was really annoying. I guess it was due to clogged fuel lines preventing proper fuel delivery, or spark plug carbon buildup causing weak ignition. After cleaning the carburetor and replacing the spark plugs, it improved significantly. The problem was more noticeable during cold starts, and poor fuel quality could easily trigger it too. Regular maintenance is key, don't neglect it.

What does extended braking distance mean?

When the brake pedal is pressed and braking occurs, if the distance exceeds the standard braking distance, it is called extended braking distance. Reasons for extended braking distance: Issues with brake pads or brake discs: First, the tread pattern of the tires may not provide the same grip as new tires. The brake discs and brake pads engage during braking to achieve the braking effect. Wear and tear occur every time the brakes are applied. Replacing the brake pads or brake discs can resolve this issue. Issues with brake fluid: Brake fluid is also crucial because it has a certain level of hygroscopicity. Over time, un-replaced brake fluid can absorb small amounts of moisture from the surrounding air, forming water vapor. While the fluid itself is incompressible, any gas that enters the fluid can be compressed. If the brake fluid contains water vapor, the braking force will be significantly reduced, affecting driving safety. This can also lead to soft braking. Replacing the brake fluid can solve this problem.

What lights should be used when meeting on narrow roads or bridges?

When meeting non-motorized vehicles on narrow roads or bridges at night, low beam headlights should be used. On roads without central barriers or center lines, drivers should switch to low beam headlights when meeting oncoming vehicles at a distance of more than 150 meters at night. When meeting non-motorized vehicles on narrow roads or bridges, low beam headlights should be used. When passing through intersections controlled by traffic signals at night, vehicles should drive with low beam headlights on. The low beam headlights of a car can be adjusted manually using the knob behind the headlight assembly. Park the car 10 meters away from a wall, measure the distances from the low beam to the central axis, from the high beam to the central axis, and from the low beam to the ground. Then move close to the wall and mark the corresponding positions on the wall. Observe whether the light beam deviates left or right, is too high or too low. If the center of the headlight beam does not align with the marked points, it indicates misalignment. Adjust the headlight width by rotating the adjustment knob until the center of the headlight beam aligns with the marks on the wall.

How often should a six-year-old car be inspected in the following years?

Small passenger vehicles require inspection every 2 years after the first 6 years. Vehicles older than 6 years must be inspected annually, while those exceeding 15 years of age require semi-annual inspections. Vehicle inspections include three categories: motor vehicle safety technical inspection, emission inspection, and comprehensive performance inspection. Key considerations for annual vehicle inspection are as follows: 1. Engine: Check whether the engine, chassis, body and attached equipment are clean, complete and functional; whether the paint finish is uniform and aesthetically pleasing; whether major assemblies have been replaced and match the initial inspection records. 2. Braking performance: Verify whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lighting, exhaust and other safety features comply with technical requirements for safe operation of motor vehicles. 3. Vehicle condition: Inspect whether the vehicle has undergone modifications or alterations; verify if the registration details on the driving license, license plate and vehicle records match the current condition and whether any changes have undergone proper approval and modification procedures.

What Are the Classification Standards for Vehicle Classes?

The classification of vehicles is primarily based on parameters such as wheelbase and vehicle length. Vehicle classes are mainly divided into subcompact cars, compact cars, midsize cars, and full-size cars. Dimensions for each vehicle class: Subcompact cars: The wheelbase of subcompact cars ranges between 2350mm and 2600mm, with a body length between 3700mm and 4450mm. Compact cars: The wheelbase of compact cars ranges between 2500mm and 2750mm, with a body length between 4300mm and 4750mm. Compact cars are the preferred choice for family vehicles, meeting daily commuting needs with relatively low operating costs, making them the mainstream models in the domestic market. Midsize cars: The wheelbase of midsize cars ranges between 2650mm and 2950mm, with a body length between 4600mm and 5000mm. Midsize cars are often used for business purposes in the domestic market. Full-size cars: The wheelbase of full-size cars exceeds 2900mm, with a body length exceeding 5100mm.

What are the reasons for the SVS light being on, inability to accelerate, and lack of power?

SVS light being on, inability to accelerate, and lack of power can be caused by faults in the engine or automatic transmission, carbon deposits in the throttle, or poor fuel quality. Faults in the engine or automatic transmission: When the ECU or TCU detects issues with the engine or automatic transmission, the SVS warning light will illuminate. The solution is to promptly visit a repair shop for professional diagnostics. Carbon deposits in the throttle: The main cause is the reciprocating motion of airflow during the engine's intake and exhaust strokes. Not only does air get sucked in during intake, but gas reflux during valve overlap can also lead to carbon buildup in the intake tract. The solution is regular maintenance and timely cleaning of carbon deposits. Poor fuel quality: Low-quality fuel can result in weak acceleration, affect the gasoline filter and fuel lines, and may cause poor fuel delivery, leading to acceleration issues. It can also impact the lifespan of the exhaust system's catalytic converter. If the catalytic converter is clogged, it will directly affect the vehicle's acceleration performance, increase fuel consumption, and cause acceleration problems. The solution is to switch to higher-quality fuel.
