He's put in a new pump. It's a pulse pump and you could troubleshoot it by topping off the gas tank. At that point it would be gravity feed for a little bit.

I would check coil resistance when it heats up (starts messing up) . Or put a new coil/test coil on it.
The first thing you have to do is diagnose it properly to figure out if it is fire or fuel/air mixture related. Then you will know what to check.
(There are several diff ways to go about this. It is just one of those things a mechanic usually does as to the way to diagnoses problems).

From reading your comments it sounds like it is fuel related.
(You say you have to nurse the choke when it messes up to get it back to garage).
You could have a float level not adjusted right, or hanging up. There could be any number of problems.
If you are at your wits end then you need to let someone else fix it. Nothing worse than a pissed off mechanic. I have been one for 35+yrs !!

You also may have an intake air leak….just from what the description and comments you make .
You can check this by getting it to run then spray carb cleaner or a little gas around the intake area and at base of carb…..To see if rpm’s pick up or engine surges. (You can also use a vacuum hose to listen to it.)
Just another “guess” ….
(Adding note, I see you replaced the carb so the leak wouldn’t or shouldn’t be at the base of the carb)
