Disadvantages of the MEBA engine
- This motor does not like bad fuel, candles and their coils quickly deteriorate from it;
- After that, the fuel filter is usually clogged and the fuel pump fails;
- The main cause of engine overheating is most often an unreliable pump;
- Due to contamination of the crankcase ventilation, grease begins to ooze from all the seals;
- Low-quality oil significantly reduces the life of hydraulic tensioners and hydraulic compensators.
