My two cents is that it could be a coil that breaks down when it gets 
warm (easy - replace the coil) or the fuel pickup. I had a fuel pickup 
that drew from the bottom of the tank and had a screen at the end. It 
clogged with gunk several years ago while approaching, downwind in 30 
knots, a closed drawbridge that had an opening schedule and refused to 
treat our problem as an emergency. It was nip and tuck to get the anchor 
down .
    My solution was to (later) remove the screen and install parallel 
Racor filters with a valve. NEVER have an unreachable filter!!
