Hard To Start Suzuki Marauder 800
October 18th, 2008 · No Comments
This FAQ deals with the electrical problems that can be present in a hard-to-start Suzuki Marauder VZ800. This does not address all the problems that may be present with a non-starting Marauder. It requires a certain number of tools to troubleshoot a slow or non-starting bike. Among them are a multi-meter, jumper wires and a can of contact cleaner. Contact cleaners are generally flammable. Do not get the contact cleaner on your paint or on your skin. Clean connectors before putting them back together.

What are: Voltage, Current, and Resistance?
Voltage (letter symbol: V; unit of measure: volts), Current (letter symbol: I; unit of measure: amps), and Resistance (letter symbol: R; unit of measure: ohms ) are the 3 most fundamental principals in electronics. To understand how these 3 principals relate together, lets look at an everyday garden item, a water hose. Everything needed to understand these 3 basics of electronics can be seen in a simple garden hose. (This concept is so strong that medical researchers use voltage, current, and resistance to describe blood movement through blood vessels; very similar to the garden hose concept.

C5 Fuel Pump Installation Instructions
September 6th, 2008 · No Comments
LPE offers this in-tank fuel pump for high performance applications where the standard pump is not capable of supplying sufficient fuel flow. Designed to fit the 1997 through early* 2003 C5 Corvette. This pump is rated at 225 liters/hour (60 gph) at 60 psi of fuel pressure at 13.5 volts. This is sufficient to handle up to roughly 600 HP, allowing for hot fuel handling and jet pump operation. Boost referenced fuel systems will have slightly less flow capability due to the higher fuel pressure. For higher horsepower applications, LPE suggests the addition of a Boost-A-Pump fuel pump voltage booster. This pump has been durability tested at up to 17 volts continuous operation. This is the same pump as used in the LPE twin turbocharged C5 Corvettes. Includes pump, pump inlet filter, housing and housing “sock” type filter.
