Too many causes to provide an "answer". On the K's the pump is wired off the level sensor.

I'd lift the pump out, disconnect both + & - wires (put hose over ends=no sparks) and directly put wires on the pump, - to ground & hold the + to the battery just as you start the engine.

This will parse a mechanical vs electrical problem.

If it runs ok, it's electrical: get the Clymer manual (M500) to trace power wiring.

If it still sputters & dies, I'd put pressure gauge inline of pump to injector rail. It should be ~38psi.

The regulator may be bad (pinch the hose of rail to regulator to see), but more likely the pump can't keep up.

I've build 3 K bikes from wrecks and worked on many others.

Yes—This could be caused by many things. —- Also consider faulty Hall Effect Sensor, which is used as a crankshaft position sensor. Their failure is not uncommon in older K100s.
