Fuel or Electrical - Help Needed

It turned out to be electrical after all. I thought it was fuel but after changing out fuel filter on the pump and runing with a full tank issue with Bugsy mysteriously simply dying while cruising around and then refiring as soon as I turned the key I think has been solved.

Turns out the + 12VDC Coil Lead had vibrated loose. It wasn't even finger tight. That opening and closing of the connection there was responsible I believe for the engine cutting out and dying and then instantly restarting.

Thanks to all who responded to my requests for help. Bugsy is once again going Vroom, Vroom and making sweet noises.

It's been said many times that 90% of all fuel problems are electrical :wall:
