White smoke
Are you sure the smoke is white? White smoke is usually caused by antifreeze burning.(This could be a head gasket)
If the smoke is actually light gray it is oil burning.(This would be rings or valve seals)
If it smokes mostly on startup and then stops when it warms up (It could be a worn valve guide or deteriorated valve guide seal (or possibly several) allowing a tiny amount of oil into one or more cylinders).
If it smokes mostly when you are cornering (It could be too much oil in the crankcase).

Gas leake from Air vent
If you mean that fuel runs out of one of the vent lines, note that one of those lines is for overflow from the carb bowl. If this is what is happening, you might have corrosion or dirt making your float needle stick, and overflow fuel to that carb. It needs to be cleaned out by removing the bowl, float and float needle.

Need help puttin on a trailer plug on 2002 suzuki marauder
You can pull all your power from the rear tail light! You'll need a multimeter(Or at least a test light of some sort!) on your adapter you'll have a green, a yellow, a brown and a white wire.
White- is your ground(Find a good clean nut/bolt on your frame)
green- Right turn signal/brake light
yellow- left turn/brake light
Brown- tail lights
What you'll have to do is find the wires for the tail light on your bike, And one by one probe them(with your multimeter/test light) With whichever accessory on(E.G. turn lights on, then probe the wires until you find the one that has power, This will be your tail light wire. same with both of your turn signals and brake light!

Hello Colin, the fuel leak from the upper hose would indicate excessive gas due to flooding, as you stated. It could be the float has stuck and not letting the float valve close to stop the fuel flow. This happens a lot when a bike is stored... Other possibilities - The float could have a pinhole in it causing a high fuel level, or not adjusted properly. Also, make sure the choke is not stuck partially closed. Remember, a "wet" gas soaked spark plug will not fire, so it's best to replace the plugs after they have been flooded or fouled. I hope this information is helpful.

I have a 2000 suzuki marauder vz800. the front
This is a common problem with vz800 models, I had the very same problem front ran lean and rear ran rich. I would advice you to do the following strong. change the frot jet to 130 rear to 135 and both needles should be 3rd from the top. it's not your fuel pump it rarely goes bad.If there is back firing then turn the carb. screw out by 31/2 turns. hope this helps. PS: it is not your petcock, nor your fuel pump. One advice have you gas tank cleaned and line it with POR only it is a good product.

My Susiki dies sometimes when
Hello
I would start with the easy less expensive stuff first.
Check/Replace your spark plugs. Carbon fouled, sooty plugs don't like to idle.
Clean/Change your airfilter. Dirty air filters choke the motor. choked motors either stall or rev high.
Carburetor idle screw needs set.
that is adjusted after the bike is warmed up to operating temperature, then set idle.
If that doesn't have you cleared up then you'll need to have your carbs cleaned.
Have a great weekend

2000 marauder leaks gas out
the floats in the bottom of the carb need adjusting the are to low
When setting the float level be aware that the spring loaded bumper on the fuel inlet needle valve may have a tendency to compress under the weight of the float assembly which will skew your measurement. Before you obtain your measurement you'll need to make sure that the float assembly tang just barely makes contact with the spring-loaded bumper. Sometimes it is easier to hold the carb body at a 45-degree angle to avoid compressing the spring in the fuel inlet needle.
If you find that your measurement does not match your float level spec then you can carefully bend the float assembly tang to achieve your desired measurement. Be sure to recheck your work, and if you feel confident that your float level is spot on then you can reinstall your carb and get back to riding.

My 2000 VZ800 Marauder, after
Yes it indicates towards the dirty carb.Cleaning the carb should help.
The "idle jet is clogged or dirty".Also it can be air leak issue.Try spraying a little starter around where the carb attach and on any joins in the carbs. If the idle changes you have an air leak.But as per problem, cleaning the carb and jets throughly should help.---------
This will help.Thanks.Helpmech.

The front one is under the tank. you must remove the tank then remove the air box from the frame it's the black box near the handle bars. once the air box is removed the filter comes out the same as the rear one.

How do you change the plugs on 2000 Suzuki
pop the seat, and unscrew the two screws you see at the base of the tank. Slowly lift up and pull towards the rear of the bike, the tank will pop up enough so you can pull the wire and thenuse a deep well socket on the plug. Do one then rotate tank the other direction and do the samething for the other

I need a manual
If you were to log on to the
manufacturer's web site, I think you will be pleasantly surprised as
usually one is able to download, by model number, Customer
Instruction Manuals, list
of Dealers for spare part supplies as required.
Just Google the manufacturer's name and
follow the links. Make certain you are directed to the manufacturer's
web site as some search engines direct you to other sites and they
charge for the information that is normally free of charge.
I hope this helps.
