Getting closer to the diagnosis

Tonight I tore into the bike again trying to root out the cause of the bike woes.Online I heard a suggestion that the throttle position sensor might be screwed up. That was an easy check. I pulled the connector and threw the multimeter on it. It's a simple potentiometer and simple to check with the ohmmeter. 4.3k rail to rail with the center tap going from 1.2k to 4.1k. Right around in spec.Next up was the fuel pump again. Further tearing it up I got to the fuel pump.1.1 ohm across the leads seems low, but the final test is current draw. I rigged up a janky setup and tested it.For a brief instant I saw 15A on the Fluke. Thankfully it is specced to handle 20A for 30s so this wasn't a problem. The 7.5A fuse inline fuse blew on cue.The pump is, essentially, a dead short.That would explain no gas getting pumped.I guess I'm in the market for a new one now...
