Fuel pump flutters after hard acceleration

I have a 1986 shadow vt1100. When I accelerate hard, my fuel pump will flutter like it isn't getting any fuel. However, my bike does not act like it's not getting enough fuel. I can just put my hand down on the fuel pump and feel it pumping really fast. I removed the fuel cut-off relay and hot wired the pump into the relay circuit because the relay went bad. The fuel pump always kicks on when I turn on the ignition and fills the carbs up, but then stops like normal when the carbs are full. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
