the fuel pump has a spring that breaks , then you will have poor pump pressure...the pump has a diaphram when this ruptures gas will leak out the pump weep hole....check your fuel lines for leakage...if you have a small leak on the supply side , this will also reduce pump pressure,,
when the pump is removed you will in most cases see the the pump is defective with the operation of the pump arm with your hand ..
with a metal fuel tank removal of the fuel filter is a very bad idea...how about replacing the fuel filter to see if this was the problem..you may have created more trouble ............
since it runs after you dump fuel in it did you check for the proper choke operation ? choke pull off's vacuum leaks etc ...this will all cause a poor cold start on this type vehicle........
if you have a poor choke fuel will not be sucked out of the carb...if you pump the throttle 5 times and it starts then stalls it is usually the choke...
