N 12 pulsar missing badley gradually got worse i have a low batt . checked all vacum lines
A low battery can result in low spark and running bad.
Charge up the battery and try again.
See if one cylinder worse then others, by removing wire, one at a time, with an insulator.
Switch the wire, plug, and injector from bad cylinder with good one.
If still the same, check compression.
If not, replace wire, plugl, or injector that is bad.
You could still have systemic problem like intake manifold leak.
Try listening for hissing by using a lenght of hose to hear through.
Testimonial: "thanks for the advice ill give all that a go ta heaps "
One possibility is back pressure from a partially plugged catalytic convertor.
If that is the case, then it will be better at low RPM, and worse at high.
A popping sound could also be pre-ignition, such as low octane gasoline.
With a turbo you need to always run premium.
The turbo increases the compression ratio, and it will ignite just from the compression, just like a diesel.
