  If your KAYO MOTOR Motorcycle engine won't start, several factors could be at play. Begin by checking if fuel is flowing into the carburetor, which addresses issues like an empty fuel tank, blocked tubing, a stuck carburetor float, or a blocked fuel tank cap vent. Also, remove the spark plug to test for a spark, which could indicate spark plug failure, a dirty spark plug, a malfunctioning electronic ignition, or a faulty magneto. Finally, ensure you have good sparks, which could be affected by bad or broken wiring, an open or short-circuited high-voltage cable or ignition coil, or a faulty ignition switch.

  If your KAYO MOTOR Motorcycle engine ignites but fails to start, it could be due to the choke door being opened too much or improper adjustment of the carburetor fine-tuning screw. Try re-starting the engine to resolve these issues.

  Michael ArnoldAug 22, 2025
  If your KAYO MOTOR Motorcycle engine isn't performing well at low or idling speeds, it might be due to improper valve clearance adjustment or poor quality of rocker arm adjustment screws. Check the valve timing and valve clearance. Also, check the adjustment of the fine adjustment screw of the carburetor plunger, as improper gas timing could be the cause.
