TBH I couldn't answer this, as the bike "dying off" is bit of hit and miss, it doesn't do it all the time, so during my test run with fuel cap open, bike didn't try to die on me, also on my way back from work, it ran smoothly. So sorry I can't say for sure if leaving the cap off helped.

Yes I did this part. The filter seems to be in good shape, no debris in it. See my picture taken below. Sorry for low quality image as I'm working at 830pm and it's getting dark outside.

If you do see ethanol damage you may pull the fuel petcock remove the five screw from diaphragm and inspect for ethanol damage there if do see ethanol damage I recommend replace the fuel petcock it stead of trying to save it as new one are cheap for your model year off eBay at lease here in USA, and clean out carburetor and fuel passage really well

Can you please point this out in a picture, I don't know what is fuel bowl or diaphragm etc. Once I know what I'm inspecting, I'll be happy to look at it.
Thanks!
