dusty, make dang sure you didn't pinch a vacuum line in some way. before you replace the fuel pump have it checked. the dealer can do a pressure check and there is a way you can check it. check out this link. if you don't feel comfortable just take it in. good luck and keep us posted. http://www.vtxoa.com/forums/showthread.php?t=115105&highlight=fuel+pump+pressure+check

Just went out, in the daylight assisted with a flash light and found a rubber cap from the desmog that apparently I had bumped and torn partially off. Got to get to work, but this may be the culpret. Little &%$ was in behind an electrical plug and I had just been looking right past it. Got my fingers crossed.Hope to get off early and put it back together this afternoon.
I'll be there with or without the bike. It's looking like Wed may be a little damp.
BTW, you CAN fry the fuel pump by running low on gas -- it's not a 100% thing but it's quite possible.
