I would bypass the electric pump to eliminate that as a cause. The pump is only there to solve vapor lock issues. Someone removed the electric pump from my '84 in the past and it runs fine without it.

I had this problem on my '84. The generator would run for a while but would eventually run out of gas. The engine eventually wouldn't run at all.
The fuel lines should be easily accessible on the RH frame rail by the tank. A good test is to dip a line into a container of fuel right off of the frame-rail-mounted line. This bypasses the rubber hoses that run atop the tank.
