Update on the engine cutting out. I had a gas leak from my tank. It only happened when I filled up past a certain point. I dropped the tank to inspect and discovered it was not a new tank like I thought. Just fresh spray paint. It was rusting and the seam and the rust was spreading the seam causing the leak. What I also discovered was it appeared to be the original sending unit in the tank. It had a cork float that had started to deteriorate and I am assuming releasing pieces of cort into the fuel. Fingers crossed, once I install the new tank and sending unit my problem will be solved.
