At what indicated speed are we talking? These things are like driving a
billboard. If it "cuts out" at 65 against a 20 mph headwind, the engine is
telling you that it is just too warm.
Yes, it could be fuel pump - but there is a lot of other things it "could
be" as well. And, switching to elec pump does not mean an automatic cure.
What makes you think that it is a fuel related problem?

PS to Diane. Got the reminder card today. Sorry for sleeping at the
switch. Check will go out ASAP.
