Hi!
I had the same problems in the last 3 weeks.

If the pump is defect no fuel runs through it.
> - How can I test if the fuel pump is running?
I disconnect the pumpoutputpipe right under the tank where it is
fastened to the frame. Try to start the engine. If the pump works the
fuel will come out of the pipe. If not the open pipe will be dry.

It seems do be a mechanical problem. Sometimes it works and sometimes
not. My pump gets very hot after dying.
But next week I'll get a new one because of the garantee by my Honda
dealer.
so denn...
