Had similar problem with a 6V fuel pump. When gas tank was full , it would run well. When half tank it would not run for long. Fuel pump is a pusher and was mounted high and forward towards the engine. Moved pump back toward the tank and lower. This solved the problem. I think the pump was not pulling out of the tank when down to half?
