sounds like there is a internal air leak inside the plumbing in the tank.
I would pull the assembly back out and look very carefully for a crack
in the tubing / lines.
when the assembly is submerged with a full tank it sucks fuel in, but when
tank is half empty / or half full depending on how you look at it, part of the assembly
is exposed to air. Even worse in a leaning turn more air and less fuel is being drawn in.

When a pressurized fuel hose has a pin size hole, it looses pressure through the hose back into the tank. The drop in fuel pressure is why the bike is not running correctly. If a pressurized system has a hole is cannot suck air. Completea fuel pressure check. Make sure when you go to purchase a new hose you get the top plate gasket, 10- 1311D's and 1-10222 clamp. If you do not replace the gasket and bolts, you will have to repaint your tank.

Depends if the hole is before or after the fuel pump.
Either way the idea is the same. Theres a crack / hole in the intrernal
plumbing.

It was the convoluted fuel line that had several small holes, what a chunk of junk the factory supplied for fuel lines. thanks for the advise everyone.
