    Didn't I tell you to check continuity across a few points?
    I am back!

      Yes, we thought there might be loose connections across the plugs. A paltry blown fuse caused my console not to work for almost a year.

        Need Fix for Pulsar 180 UG4 Model -
        Bike is perfectly mantained , it runs smoothly from few days back noticed that there was noticeable loss of power especially when revving, it was like as if the bike was running out of fuel. But it would'nt stall completely.
        there was around 4Liters of petrol in the tank
        Next day it got worse , it stalled few mins aftre i started from my place
        Parked the bike and tried starting it , it refused to start
        i felt fule went to reserve , aftre few sec it starts
        aftre the above incident i have changed the old air filter , and cleaned the carborator
        Now the thing is when i cruse around 60-70kmh it feel like as if the bike was running out of fuel , and gets normal when i leave the acceletor

          Its the other way around ..cold air (like early mornings) makes engine run better. Cold air is more dense

            I faced exactly the same problem twice, first time, it was a faulty spark plug, second time it was the carb diaphragm, it's a rubber type thing on the carb, Check if it is fine.
            WATER IN PETROL TANK may be the culprit, check for traces of water first.

              Agree! Colder air is denser and has more oxygen compared to hotter air.

                Is it normal for the performance as well as the fuel efficiency to drop in the rains..ie when driven when its actually raining.

                    Never used them but many people are running on Spitfire cables with NGK Ir Spark plugs, stay away from Bosch Mico, they are pathetic.

                    No, there is nothing related to FE with rains as far as fuel is unadulterated, in cases when water is present in fuel, FE loss is sure.

                      Nope.
                      Cold air means engine is not getting properly heated for optimal performance. Engine runs very harsh in the morning. They not only make more sound but also knock sometimes. In summers though, engine is quite and quite responsive to even slightest twist of the throttle. Engines run very fine when they are hot.

                      We are not talking about engine who have managed heat dissipation system (like P200ns), we are talking about engines which are dependant on the nature for cooling.

                      Yes, in heavy rains, you can say engine gets liquid cooling so it dissipates a lot more heat and cools down. Cold engine doesn't provide optimal performance, so you end up using a little more throttle, which reduces your fuel efficiency.

                        Cold air and cold engine are two different things. Lets say you ride your bike at 4am (assuming temperature is around 20 C), the engine will warm up (and continue to get hotter) after a cpl of km but the air is still cold, it is this air that is sucked in to the engine which aids in better combustion because it is more dense. Doesn't matter if the engine is at 100 C , the air being sucked in is still the cold air !
                        'cold air intakes' -- ever heard of that ?

                          Cold air causes cold engines. The engine never gets to optimal temperature in cold/rainy weather unless of course you're doing a blasted highway run. Air dense or not, engine still runs harsh.
