Here are the reasons why the front brake of the motorcycle is too hard to squeeze: 1. The first reason: Dirt accumulated over long-term use in the oil pump and oil pipe blocks the inside; there is a layer of dirt accumulated in the upper pump, even clogging the exhaust hole and oil supply hole, or the oil pipe is blocked at the downward passage or the oil pump oil path is obstructed. 2. The second reason: The piston in the upper pump does not rebound flexibly due to rust, or there is air in the oil pipe causing swelling, leading to poor flow. Here are extended solutions: 1. Check the exhaust hole: Check if there is oil overflowing from the exhaust hole below. Use a ten-sized open-end or socket wrench to loosen the exhaust valve below while simultaneously squeezing the brake lever by 1/5 with the other hand. Observe if oil flows out. If not, it indicates that the oil pipe or the oil hole of the exhaust valve is blocked. 2. Check the exhaust valve: Inspect if the hole of the exhaust valve is blocked. Spray rust remover from the other end of the hole to clear it, then reinstall it to the lower pump.

What are the reasons for increased fuel consumption after replacing spark plugs?

The reasons for increased fuel consumption after replacing spark plugs are: 1. Incorrect spark plug model; 2. Spark plugs were not tightened properly during installation. The function of automotive spark plugs is to discharge the pulsed high voltage electricity delivered by the high-voltage wires, breaking down the air between the two electrodes of the spark plug to generate an electric spark, thereby igniting the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. Precautions for using spark plugs: 1. Clean carbon deposits promptly; 2. Avoid prolonged use; 3. Avoid random descaling; 4. Avoid using fire to remove carbon deposits and oil stains from the spark plug electrodes and skirt; 5. Avoid using the wrong heat range of spark plugs; 6. Avoid over-tightening during installation.

Why Should Flood-Damaged Cars Not Be Restarted?

Because starting the engine can cause the piston connecting rod to bend, and in severe cases, damage the cylinder block, resulting in irreparable harm. Below are methods to identify flood-damaged cars: 1. Smell the interior: Check for a musty odor. Flood-damaged cars often have a musty smell in hidden areas such as the floor mats, trunk mats, and under the seats, which is difficult to remove and usually leaves evidence. If you detect a musty smell, be cautious. If the car smells unusually fragrant, that should also raise a red flag, as it may be an attempt to mask the musty odor. 2. Inspect hidden parts of the vehicle: Look for rust or signs of replacement on screws in concealed areas; pull out the seats to check for rust or sand in the tracks; extend the seatbelt fully to see if there are water stains or dirt at the end.
