Here are the reasons why a Motorcycle Backfires'

   Backfire is an explosion that occurs at the entrance or in the exhaust system of a motorcycle. This explosion, however, should appear in the combustion chamber. Where it is not, there is a break in the engine. You can see the short exhaust flame. Whether it happens in the intake or exhaust, noise, the results may be surprising for the driver and passers-by.

   There are two types of "back-fire" - ​​however, only one is technically called a backfire. When the engine is ejected flames carburetor, which is still a real fire, like fire flowing backwards in relation to normal operation. This is due to the source of ignition occurs in the intake manifold. It may be that there is very little clearance for the intake valves a little firm holding surface of the valve openings and that the combustion gas to escape from the combustion chamber, the ignition of the fuel mixture into the intake manifold.

Another reason for the backfire is the accumulation of carbon in the side of the intake valve. Carbon may become red and hot when a fresh charge hits the burning coal; it burns, sending a fire in the intake manifold.

It can also be caused by an unreliable ignition system - when it doesn’t create heat in the cylinder every revolution, it pumps fuel-air mixture in the exhaust gas, which ignites the next time. This may be due to wrong ignition timing, missing ignition (does not create a spark at all), and / or dirty spark plug defective.

The specific cause of two time backfiring is a hole in the exhaust system near the engine. 2-Strokes from the Energy allow some of the fuel mixture and air into the exhaust pipe, which is then pulled into the cylinder through the reflected sound waves from the tube. If additional air mixture can become thin, if ignited by the residual heat in the exhaust gases.

When Motor has a system malfunction emissions, such as exhaust gas or run time to run rich or poor, anti-productive happens accordingly. When the engine is running rich, more fuel than air present. When it comes to lean, there is more air than fuel. In all cases, the result is incomplete combustion, which causes the sound of the explosion.

   The silencer is delivered on a motorcycle is designed for a full and proper operation of the engine. When the exhaust pipe is changed, causing an unbalanced ratio of air to fuel. The air flow into the engine increases due to differences in the design of pipelines and other details, and this difference produces backfiring in the exhaust system. Other causes of backfires are bad or bad fuel pump, fuel pressure and clogged fuel filter. All three of these issues have a direct impact on the ratio of air and fuel.

There are several ways to prevent backfiring. Carburetor must be clean, because fuel cannot properly flow through dirty carburetor. If dirty, you must clean the carburetor cleaner high quality. Nozzles should be blocked because the nozzles are clogged with debris can also prevent fuel comes through the engine properly. If the injection motor fuels, high quality cleaner can remove dirt and impurities trapped in the fuel line. In the end, a higher degree of fuel for release fuel lines and keep the tank clean.
