Pump is in (strainer sock was a perfect fit Larry) but no change in performance.
Runs great cold, idles perfectly and accelerates strong. Gets worse on really hot days, like 90F+, especially when the engine gets heat soaked from being stuck in stop n go traffic.
Still waiting on the main fuel filter, packing gasket and crush washers ($9 ea!!) which are back ordered.
I also read that the coils can have corrosion issues at their connections or mounting bolts which can be affected by heat and raising resistance and causing ignition problems. I’ll check that later too, but since it only seems to power down and not stall, I’m doubtful.
Also tried the heavier throttle hand approach, but it seems to increase engine heat and consume more fuel.
Perhaps I’m just used to the older bikes with less tech. and lower operating rpm.
The search for Zen continues.
