Nomad 1500FI Issue

Good day, ladies and gents! New member here. Just bought this 2000 Nomad today. Test rode fine. After about 40 minutes and 30 miles I gave it full throttle and it started to go, then bogged down, started to go, then bogged down again. It continues to do it as long as I keep the throttle pinned. Definitely didn’t do it in the first 10 or 15 minutes. Has me a bit concerned. Absolutely beautiful bike, but I feel like a fuel pump is in my future. Although, the guy did say that it was recently replaced. I’ll have to check with him.

If the previous owner put in an aftermarket fuel pump, that could be the issue. A lot of folks have had problems with none OEM pumps.

Looking at the exploded parts diagram, that doesn't look like the OEM float (it is square in the diagram, but that could have changed since the diagram was drawn), but it could be an aftermarket float that has come off.
