Subject: Z8 fuel pump

about a week ago my 98tlr began cutting out on full throttle. while trying to test the fuel pressure in my garage the pump stopped coming on while cycling the key. I found the source to be the relay, so I replaced it with a regular automotive relay (beats suzuki prices). So with the new relay installed i decide to go for a test drive about 10 minutes out it starts cutting out again. I head back and rig my fuel pressure gauge so i can ride with it wire tied to the handle bars. I found that by the time i hit about 9000 in third i'm down to 25psi, not good. Well lucky me its the fuel pump. Luckily I am a BMW mechanic and i replaced a fuel tank on a z8 about a week ago due to a leak. So here i am with a fuel pump for a 400hp car. I wonder if it will fit in my bike. Well guess what it does with a couple of minor modifications to my fuel pump assembly I was able to install my new pump along with a new filter from discount auto parts. needless to say i now have sufficient fuel pressure, but it sure does draw a lot of current i will have to upgrade the wiring on the circut, but i won't be running out of fuel pressure again.
