Another cause or adding to problem could be small hole in fuel line.
On mine I replaced the fuel line with two pieces of replacement line from NAPA one piece from tank to under floor on outside of chassis where original line was the other piece from from fuel pump back. The pieces were bought with a combined length greater than total original line then cut off ends added with inline pump mounted on rubber. Installed a switch under dash which is spring loaded for intermittent use hold on until pump quits working and carb is full. The other position on switch will have pump on always which I wanted in case mechanical pump should fail can use electric as back up.
Reason for mounting where I did rather than near tank was in case have to service pump or filter on road I can reach under car and get to pump rather than need for jack stands or ramps which I do not carry with me.
