Is it normal for a bike to smoke?
Black or gray smoke often indicates a clogged air filter or your bike is running too rich. Blue smoke is usually caused by oil getting past the piston rings and burning in the combustion chamber. If you notice blue smoke during acceleration or on deceleration, check your engine oil level.
What causes a motorcycle to have intermittent spark?
When there is fuel and air in your cylinder and the spark plug doesn’t ignite it, it gets pushed out of the cylinder on the compression stroke and as soon as it hits the hot exhaust header it combusts. An intermittent spark can be caused by the spark plugs, the spark plug wires, or the ignition coil.
Can a faulty spark plug make your car blow white smoke out?
No, If the plug isn’t firing the vehicle engine would be running rough because it is missing and the unburned fuel will cause black smoke not white or grey. First look to see if it’s actually smoke or steam. Steam will dissipate almost immediately where smoke will linger much longer.
Is there a way to make the exhaust spit flames?
It’s likely you’ll have to run a richer fuel mix to make it work; the more fuel you can dump into the exhaust, the bigger the bang. Also, if your car has a turbo, an atmospheric blow off valve will help. Are some engines better at causing flames than others? Yes. The fast track to flame throwing is to get yourself a rotary-powered car.
Why does my motorcycle have black smoke coming from the exhaust?
Black soot on the spark plugs suggests that the fuel/air mixture is too rich, resulting in gray exhaust smoke. A shiny, wet, black film on the plugs is a result of excess oil, and this causes blue smoke. Check and clean the air cleaner which may have become clogged, causing gray smoke.
Where does the smoke come from in a spark plug?
Click to expand… From the original post, it’s soming out of the exhaust. Car use to smoke in mornings, warms up and goes away. Then for a week now, smoke nonstop. Click to expand… Possibly rings, valves or HG, depending the color of the smoke out of the exhaust.
Can a faulty spark plug cause white smoke?
Yes, they can.. Craig Nicol has it right.. Unburned fuel entering the exhaust can light off in the catalytic converter resulting in white, extremely acrid smoke.. Your engine will misfire, and if it’s not corrected it will destroy the catalytic converter..
