"Engine ran fine all day, had

"Engine ran fine all day, had some fuel tank/line/bulb issues and coming in about 4K RPMs and engine gave two quick bumps and quit. No power to starter,tach, or tilt/trip on motor. Radio and GPS have power. Main fuse on motor is ok, batteries connections are good. Could this be a fuel pump issue? Any ideas.
Thanks-ACDIII"
 
"This sounds similiar to a pro

"This sounds similiar to a problem I had with my 140, altho it wasn't a fuel issue. I had the power wire pull apart at the connector just inside the cowling where the wires all came into the motor. The wire was too tight and when I made a hard over turn it pulled apart. I was able to pull more wire into the engine cowling after loosening the tie wraps which then let me reconnect the butt connector. It's a white wire and if that is your problem, it may have fallen down into the "tray" at the base of the incoming wires. This is the main power wire and when it pulled apart it had exactly your symptoms."
