motorcycle oil plug temp gauge

• 2022-09-02

The heating plug on the carburetor of the motorcycle is used to heat the throat of the carburetor to increase the temperature of the intake air mixture and improve the combustion condition at low temperature. It generally works in cooperation with the temperature switch. It starts to work when the temperature is lower than 5 ° C. when the ambient temperature is high, it is not heated (there is no need to reheat).

The so-called enrichment device is different from its working principle. It is mainly used for scooters on motorcycles, that is, the so-called "electric damper". When the engine is off for a period of time, it will automatically open a enrichment nozzle. When the engine is started next time, it will automatically enrich the mixture to facilitate cold start. As long as the temperature of the damper is lowered for a period of time after the engine is off, it will work automatically, even in hot weather, After the engine is started, power will be supplied to the damper resistor, so that the damper will be closed after a while (at this time, the vehicle has been warmed up and no rich mixture is required). It has no heating function.

Motorcycle oil plug temp gauge is in order to meet the environmental protection standards and minimize the cost, the vast majority of the third grade motorcycles still choose to use carburetor instead of EFI, which is mainly realized by controlling the oil volume of carburetor and adding catalyst in the exhaust pipe. Due to the control of carburetor oil quantity, it is difficult to start (compared with the previous national second car), the preheating time is long, and the acceleration is not smooth at medium and low speed, which is especially obvious when the temperature is low. Therefore, some Suzuki cars are equipped with heating plugs. However, not all cars have been installed. For example, it is basically not needed in the south. It is useless to install it, and it also increases the cost. However, the installation position of these carburetors is reserved, that is, a relatively thick screw hole on the left of the carburetor. If you need to buy a set of kits (including heating plugs, temperature control switches and wires) to install them yourself, the cost will be several tens of yuan. This heating plug can only work when it is cold and the engine is started. It is useless at normal temperature. Even when it is cold, it does not make much difference as long as it is fully preheated after starting. Therefore, it is not completely installed when leaving the factory. The owner can decide whether to install it according to the local winter temperature and whether the car can be used normally. However, from the use effect, the effect is not obvious.
