Hey dude, I am fellow P150 V1 owner. Nothing to worry, you just need to clean the carburetor and you are good to go.... Usually happens due to adulterated fuel... Carburetor has to be cleaned during the service but you know how badly our bikes get serviced.... Just remind the service guy each time, thats what i do.....Originally posted by Richard View Post
P.S: It is certainly not a over night phenomenon.Comment

@mac187 - thanks a ton
...ill get the carb checked today...hope the probs is a dirty carb...
does this affect proformance

It does affect the performace,
a. Drop in FE - Too much fuel is lost through the excess pipe, there is a excess pipe to ur crab, if you remove it then you can see the fuel leaking.
b. Drop is power - The engine chokes if you twist the throttle...
P.S: Also check for rust of your fuel tank (inner part), that can cause the problem too....Comment

yes my bike is a guzler..its giving arnd 35 to 40...
but option b is non exstant it revs up fine on sudden throttle...
but it seems chocked after 6k...
another incident happened today..i was traveling on the highway at a constant speed of 70...there was octivia in front of me...i opened throttle ond over took it at around 100kmph...and contnued riding at the same for around a minute when suddenly the engine went dead with a few jerks like it happens when you run out of fuel...so i pulled over waited a minute... and kicked a few times and it started rite up like normal....
what could be the cause of this?? it was like petrol had just stoped flowing..
ill go to the mech on sunday...hope he knows what to do...Comment

check the petrol outlet from the tank, the pipe sometimes due to particles will get clogged. the other reason can be from a rusted tank as well.Bikes don't spill oil, they mark their territory.Comment

Got the carb cleaned in Auto Service PROPERLY and it was all set.
Be there when those guys are working on the carb as they may take some shortcuts, as my problem was persisting even after the service a week ago bfo I got the carb cleaned.
For my carb cleaning it took them more than 1 hour (same time khivraj took to service my bike end-to-end
).

if you tried starting the bike immediately and it started, then extremely funny.
Probably the carb need servicing. Check if the breather pipe is clogged.
Happens a lot with RX and zmas. Bike starts and dies down/refuses to start.
Open tank, shut it again and it runs great.Bikes don't spill oil, they mark their territory.Comment

@Speed Pujari - thanks! these service guys are always a pain in the arse..hate anyone else touching my bike except me..but at times like these when we have no idea what to do...there are no options left...
not exactly immediatly....i took around four strong kicks before it fired up...this happened only after i ripped up to 100 on full throttle...the engine just went dead....before this happend i had already ridden at moderate speeds for about 20kms it was perfectly normal then.....Originally posted by pk28.karthik View Post...
isint the fuel tank suppose to be air tight???Last edited by Richard; 11-04-2008, 06:25 PM.Comment

Could be spark plug issues.
There may be some dirt/unwanted material thats clogging the clearance in your plug. It happened once with me, bike revving nicely, and riding well at 90 kmph+, but stalling suddenly because of some dirt in the plug. Make sure you get the plug checked when you clean the carb. If there are metal bits, that could mean something busted inside the engine, get the oil replaced too. Cant be too careful.Four strokes move my body, two strokes move my soul.

got the carb cleaned today...the bike has improved no doubt...
but the problem still exists the engine is still noisy and ruff......i checked my spark plug after hard riding and its was still snow white....i just removed the wire connector...and checked the ceremic part....or do have to unscrew the sparkplug to check it??
ive got a feeling my bike is running lean..any way to check except for the plugs??Comment

you will have to unscrew the plug and see the tip. The tip should not be black with carbon deposits. mind you, dont open them when the engine is hot.
I had a similar problem with my uni and when the problem was a litre of water in my petrol tank. If you run out of all the possibilities, then you may explore this as well.Comment

@rockrider - thanks!...
ive got to search in my old tool box for a spanner to open it...
my bike gets dry every once in a weeki just cant seem to calcuate...how much i ride...so i dont think it could be the water thingy..Comment
