I will pass on one more possibility, perhaps remote, but it happened to me,
so it might happen to someone else. Somebody (probably my brother) drove my
Sprite over a high speed bump, and crushed the metal fuel line just aft of
where it goes up into the engine compartment. After that it exhibited
exactly the same symptoms that you describe. I fooled around with different
pumps and filters for a couple of weeks till I finally noticed the flat spot
in the tubing... Replaced it, and problem was solved.
