Check for a restricted fuel flow FROM tank TO pump. I assume your pump is mounted well below the tank, at frame level? With feed line disconnected at the pump measure the fuel free flow through everything to the pump. It should whizz continuously unrestricted like a racehorse into a catch can. If you have any filter or sediment bowl that will initiate vaporization with increased flow upstream of the pump that could be the problem. Also check that your gas cap is properly vented.
