This is exactly what happened with my gtu a few years ago. It would cut out on left hand cornering.
I took the fuel pump contraption out of the tank. And yes there was some dirt on the filter. But I also looked inside the tank and found a layer of deposits under where the pump sits. This layer was so thick that it touched the bottom of the filter. The baffles were not rusted through, it just had a load of deposits sitting in it.

So i took my fuel tank out and cleaned it real good with water and paint thinner.

Ever since then, no more problems.
When i took it for a spin after I got it all back together again, I swear it felt like it had more power. lol.


So just check the filter on the pump and clean it, and check inside the tank too for rusted baffles and/or a layer of deposits. Take necessary action depending on what you find.
