Trophy 900 Truimph Trophy 1993, 20- 30 miles than engine cuts out, feels like fuel problem. Pull over at side of road, wait less than 1 minute, and engine will restart, when you undo fuel cap you can hear the pressure escaping from fuel tank. Does this sound like a blocked fuel tank breather pipe. If you can answer me Cheers Bernie
Sounds more to me like you are boiling your fuel and vapor locking. I don't know how that bike is set up, but many bikes have one way vent to prevent fuel from spilling in an accident. Has the bike been apart lately? There is insulation on most bikes to protect the tank from excess heat. If it is removed the fuel actually begin to vaporize in the tank and won feed the carb properly.
