Deltamark glad you had someone with good advice, the cutoff switch is the only part that stops the pump ( apart from the pump relay and the bank angle sensor which normally do not give any trouble )
The cutoff switch drives the "engine stop relay" which then conducts to negative through the bank angle sensor .
The engine stop relay supplies several vital engine systems such as the fuel pump, fuel injectors and ignition coils.
It is also possible for the engine to be stopped by the sidestand switch through the on-board computer ( ecm ) but in that case the fuelpump would still operate as usual so that does not point to your situation.
At this point it may be a good idea to check the engine cutoff switch by engaging it several times with the ignition key on but engine not running, i would listen to the fuel pump and switch it several times and notice if there is any hesitation or different pitch in the fuel pump.
This switch has been mentioned before on the odd occasion and the fact that it stopped the engine "midstream" would concern me, in your outdoor situation it may be a good idea to cycle it from time to time which means the contacts slide past themselves in a way that cleans the electrical surface of them if there is any buildup of oxide over time.
Well now you have a good idea of how to fix any future gremlins, thanks for sharing your experience with the forum
