Some of you might remember the post where I asked for your thoughtsabout my engine cutting out.
I finally got around to working on the bike yesterday and discovered the cause. The fuel pump diaphragm had been repaired using silicon sealant, or high-temperature RTV. Apparently gasoline reacted with the stuff and made it very soft. This caused it to separate and temporarily clog the output orfice of the fuel pump.
