Incomplete Combustion

What causes incomplete combustion? We did it in class and cyclohexene didn't completely combust and I know incomplete combustion can be caused by a lack of oxygen, yet it a classroom full of oxygen I wouldn't expect that to be the reason..

it was probably because you had your bunsen burner on a closed flame so less oxygen would be getting through

there may be plentiful supply of oxygen, but the flame isnt hot enough to react the reactants together
