check the fuel filter it sounds like it's pluged and causing too much back presure this is causing an over load in the fuel pump causing it to stop working or to presure lock

I had this same problem. What I discovered was the float needs adjusted on the carb. I set mine lower inthe bowl and it stopped the leaking. Reason for this happening is on hot days the fuel in the bowl will boil. This boiling action dumps in more fuel and the carb spits it out the air breather.

It sounds like you got some corrosion going on, on the ground side. I would start with the battery cables first and see if they need cleaned up, then go to the connectors and unplug them and clean if necessary and put die-electrical grease in the sockets of the connectors before plugging them back in. I am assuming that the shifter is electrically assisted if there are problems going on with it as well...this is what makes me believe that it is a bad ground due to setting maybe in a damp inviroment.

Did you try to increase the idling adjustment screw?
Check the spark plugs for its condition and thn reset the air-mixture screw.
Standard procedure for setting air-mixture screw...tight it all the way in, taking care to not over tighten or the tip of the screw may be damaged, thn turn outwards 2 & half to 3 turns, start your bike's engine ,run it to normal temp. and the reset the screw + - alittle either way and you should notice the difference in the idling and all.
Its better too, to also check the valve clearance !
Hope this helps!

My first question: is it ok to run the bike using only gravity fed fuel if I'm ok with a top end of only 60 mph, or am I damaging something else on the bike by doing that?
To answer your it, you fuel pumps still works and you are not doing anymore harm than possible.
**My second question: is there a way around buying the $300+ fuel pump in order to get the bike running properly again?
YES, go to a bike dismantler/wrecker who does the same tipe of bike
***My third question: WHY DOES THE FUEL PUMP COST
$300+!!?!?!??!
Well, can not answer that because I don't know....
Good enough?
