stalls after 30 minutes, will not restart till cools off

Yes that is a good possibility. I didn't go back and re-read the preamble. The original statements could also indicate a faulty float setting or stuck needle valve. Changing the fuel pump won't fix this. In addition the OP said the pump was bad and as you only have what the the OPs says as clues you have to assume he has eliminated other causes.

 

 

Flooding also causes a hard re-start. The usual cure it to let sit until the engine cools down.

The fuel level is right at the center dot in the glass, until I start it up. it begins to fill up, the engine starts gurglling, then gas comes out of the accelerator pump.

 

This all began with the new pump, so that is why I assumed it's pressure was too high.

 

I'll look into how to check the float valve. Are there links to a good tutorial on this? I have never worked on carburetors before.

I did it. The needle valve was not in properly. All good now. no leaks. We will see how long I go this time...
