well the engine is now running on all cylinders and idling well but after about 5 min it dies unless I pump the primer bulb then itll go for a while longer. Is the fuel pump the only suspect? all new fuel line and no leaks ?

Re: fuel pump?

Tank vent, float sticking and fuel pump are the prime candidates in my opinion.

I would just get a new one personally. Not an expensive item.
