There is a mesh filter screen inside the fuel pump, ifthere is any debris inside the tank, that may have gotten sucked up by the pickup, and now is clogging that mesh filter in the pump. Only way to clean it is to take that bottom part of the pump apart and clean out the screen.
The drive home may have stirred up any debris sitting in the bottom of the tank, and now that is in the lines/mesh filter.
You may want to drain the fuel tank with via the drain plug on the bottom of the tank to try to flush out any debris in the tank. Also I have always thought a inline fuel filter near the tank would help to prevent any crap from clogging that fuel pump mesh filer. It's easier to change/clean out a filter near the tank, then it is to have to keep taking the fuel pump apart.
Also check the cermaic filter (inside the glass bowl) right before the carburetor. (There should be a filter there).
