What color?
Or, even more importantly, what song was playing on the radio? Bikes are sensitive to that sort of thing. ACDC, Molly Hachett, Twisted Sister, those can cause a bike to just quit. Rap, too, is a no-no.

Another possibility is there could be something in a hose. You'll need to just keep eyes and ears open for the symptoms starting over. And I believe they will. Listen for the fuel pump starting to click.

Clicking pump is a bad sign. May be the problem.
Could also indicate that there is a blockage, as the pump will click before you run completely out of fuel. Have you ever changed the fuel hoses & filter?

There were some non OEM filters that were disintegrating inside. They looked like the OEMs but were cheap crap.
What did you replace the old filter with? If your are still getting a clicking pump, what you have may not have enough flow. The Honda filter is almost 20 bucks, but worth it.

Oh, this fiche also shows the pump for the '86 to still be available.
