AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the issue of motorcycles shutting down when the clutch is applied, with suggestions pointing to a potential problem with the kickstand cut-off switch, which can disrupt the electrical circuit. Participants note that this issue is prevalent in colder weather, possibly due to engine heat and fuel atomization challenges during cold starts. The choke's role in improving fuel atomization during cold starts is explained, emphasizing its importance for efficient combustion. There is no direct correlation established between the clutch operation and fuel supply, as the focus is more on matching engine and transmission RPMs. The conversation briefly shifts to a request for information on six-stroke engines, indicating a broader interest in engine mechanics.

I have a doubt regarding automobile like bikes.
While driving, on applying clutch, (sometimes) the engine gets shutdown automatically(may be you might have experienced or noticed somewhere). So what might be the reason behind this. Please give your suggestion.
Thank you.

You might have a problem with your kick stand cut off switch. This switch cuts off the engine when you put your transmission in gear while the kickstand is down. A faulty switch (or loose kickstand) may open the electrical circuit shutting off the engine.
 
hmmm might be. But this basically happens with almost all motorcycle and specially in winter season. May be the reason is related to heat in cylinder.. Why do we apply choke? To inject high proportion of charge in it. But after than what? So is there any relation between clutch and fuel supply?

During cold starting, additional fuel is necessary to compensate for the large proportion of fuel which is not able to atomize and therefore will not remain suspended in the cold slow moving air stream when the engine is being cranked. This fuel spreads around the cold intake walls, collects together and form large liquid droplets unsuitable for efficient burning.

The choke improves atomization by increasing the air stream velocity and the increased depression forces more fuel to mix with the air which compensates for the leaner mixture created by the «lost» fuel on the intake walls. Once the engine is hot, the fuel droplets on the intake walls tend to vaporize, hence going back into the air stream.

Not that I can't think of. It is more of a proper matching of engine and transmission RPM and, preferably, keep a constant engine power during the shifting process.
 
ok thanks buddy.. & can you explain me six stroke engine? Just give me line diagram of engine. That would be enough for me to understand.

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'
We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
