motor starts and them starts to hesitate after running for several minutes. The fuel primer hand pump is sucked closed and the engine runs as if it is not getting fuel. I replaced the fuel filter, fuel line in the engine and check connections. What could be the issue?

The pick up tube in the tank could be clogged, that would cause the primer bulb to sucked flat.

Also check to make sure you have the vent open on the top of the tank filler cap.

The pickup screws out.
On a plastic tank, you don't even need a tool.
