I have a Bajaj Discover 100 (5 Gear) model manufactured in 2011. I bought it about a year and a half ago and it was doing about 50kmpl. But now the fuel consumption is around 35-40kmpl and hill climbing performance is significantly reduced. black smoke is coming while accelerating at idle position. It was a lot in the beginning, but now it is less due to a recent carburetor adjustment. Also, I heard this model should perform an average of 65kmpl. Since I did the carburetor cleaning and adjustment, what could be the other possible reasons for reducing fuel consumption?

Hi, My car is EK3 1996 EXI manual one. My car having an issue with the acceleration as below. When the accelerator is pressed and keep steady, I feel like car is not pulling forward properly and the car doesn’t get the speed as it supposed to do. (feel like car doesn't pickup well) This doesn't happen all the time and in such cases, what I do is release the accelerator and press it again. Then, it gives proper pulling power and car speed gets increased. (this also doesn't work some times ) I feel this issue mostly when going on higher gears (3 or 4) and also feel acceleration is jerky. Any help on this is appreciated. Thanks Ruwan
