What does it sound like when your engine is flooded?
You can tell if your engine’s flooded when you spot these signs: Very fast cranking (the engine sounds different when you turn the key – usually a ‘whirring’ sound) A strong smell of petrol, especially around the exhaust. The car doesn’t start, or starts briefly and cuts out again.
Why do I feel dirt on my throttle body?
As you push down the accelerator pedal, this increases the flow of air and petrol into the engine. If there’s any dirt or coking on the throttle body this will prevent the car from picking up the power it needs from combustion. What does this feel like behind the wheel?
What does a sharp snapping sound on a motorcycle mean?
A sharp snapping sound that may be irregular or regular may indicate a leakage or “short” of ignition energy to ground. This is particularly likely to be the case when it is accompanied by the engine “missing,” or hesitating.
Why does my bike bog from quick throttle openings?
We’ll look at poor jetting in a minute, but let’s look at the other reasons why your bike bogs from quick throttle openings. An accelerator pump is simply a device (usually mechanical) on a 4 stroke carb that shoots an extra amount of fuel at low RPM throttle openings.
Why does my bike make a weird noise when I roll it?
This may be an issue when taking a bike out of storage, so checking for brake caliper sticking by rolling the bike by hand and applying the brakes to check for it is a good idea. In some instances, though, certain brake pads may emit that type of sound due to high humidity or moisture on the pads.

What causes exhaust to pop when letting off throttle?
Plugged slow jets not uncommon (and that can cause other major problems. If the bike never did it, sat a long time and started popping, that’s more of a possibility). Incorrect air screw settings can sometimes cause it, I’ve been able to tune it out (or hide it..) with an air screw adjustment in some cases.
