The bike idled and ran fine.

Right.

I pulled the output and hooked up a piece of tygon. Alot of air was coming
out with the fuel.........hmmmmmmm.
>It might be a bad pressure switch on the fuel pump or a bad pump.
I do not think there is a switch, it just works by pressure. When the
pressure is too much for the pump to overcome it stops pumping .
>By guessing a torn diaphragm, I'm assuming you don't mean a torn carb
diaphragm.
Correct, pump diaphram.
Anyway all is better now. I did pull the pump and tore it apart, all was
well. After reinstall and I hooked up the tygon I saw the air in the line.
If I kinked the hose pressure would build up and the pump would finally
stop. I then realized where the air was comming from. I have a purge line
off my NOS pump that I can open to get good gas through the NOS pump and all
the air out of the lines. I have been leaving this valve open and cycling
fresh fuel through every tank or two. This valve dumped back to the tank.
If the level in the tank was low the hose going in would be out of the fuel
and would allow air to be sucked back through the NOS fuel line, through the
NOS pump and to the bike pump. Shut the valve and problem solved.
