Fuel pump shot?

I posted awhile ago about my bike dying when coming to a stop after getting it warmed up, I adjusted the idle and replaced the battery and it ran fine but had to adjust the idle every so often. Since the problem persisted I went ahead and pulled the pumped cleaned the little filter of a couple small specs and put it all back, but now it won’t start. The pump still receives power and pumps fuel and the injectors still click but cannot figure out why they will not spit fuel. Any tips or possible replacements that don’t cost $800+

Im not the most mechanically inclined and need some help diagnosing the issue. So I took the bike out and after about an hour of riding with no issues I went to stop at a light and the bike just dies, it starts right back up but if I don’t give it the lightest touch of throttle it dies out again. Parked the bike due to a few weeks of rain and brought it back out ride about 5 miles and started having the same issue, dying but starts fine but will die without throttle. My initial thought was carb or fuel pump. Anyone have any ideas?
