New fuel pump, Petrol gauge, hoses, tank clean.

When put back together, it started right up, sounded perfect.

Took for a trial run, made it around 28 miles away, then it dies. Spring break traffic flying endlessly by. Fuel pump not making any noise. Then around 15 minutes later, I turn the key and hear the whirring of the pump, and bike starts up. So I turn around, and almost make it back home. But it has to die one more time... So, sat on side of road for around 10 more minutes, then turn key, pump whirrs, and I make it home.

At first I was placing blame on the fuel pump?? But started thinking, could a bad ignition switch cause this? Are there any electrical parts that might heat up and fail intermittently?

Any ideas? I mean it could be the fuel pump, but seems unlikely, as the first one did die and this was the replacement they sent me. On the other hand, it could be a bad batch of little pumps?

Thanks!

New on bottom, old on top with decayed wiring...
