I would try the fuel lines first since they are cheap, and do get old. I like to use feul injection line since it is thicker and more abrasion resistant.
What little rubber line I have is all new. Fuel pump is new but that doesn't mean anything. If the fuel pump is bad; wouldn't it act up all the time?
