Takeuchi TL12 dying on me

My Takeuchi TL12 was dying on me every 5-10 minutes while running it. I replaced the fuel lift pump and it ran good for about 4 hours straight and then started doing it again. Any ideas?

    Some of those lift pumps have internal screens that plug up. Not saying yours has one, but worth checking. Does fuel just pour out of the line coming from the tank? Have the fuel filters been changed. Was there garbage in the filter. Could try running unit on a Jerry can with return fuel going back to tank with tank cap loose to prevent swelling the tank.

    Did you replace the fuel filter, when you changed out the pump?
