I would check the gas tank for any dirt. The same scenerio happens when there is foreign material in the tank not small enough to get into the line but gets sucked up, closing the line off. When the pressure (suction) dies (the engine stops), the material drops off the line only to be sucked up again when the engine (and suction) starts again.

Another possible cause is that the carb needs an rebuild - cleaned up. If you are using an ethanol blend, make sure the rubber parts are ethanol safe.

Third possible problem. The flex line going to the pump from the line running to the gas tank may be bad. They can collapse internally but look good from the outside. Ditto with the flex line at the rear.
