The problem is caused by the amount of alcohol in today's gas. An electric fuel pump can solve this issue because the fuel isn't heated by the engine through the bolt on fuel pump. There are a few more things that can be done in your situation.
1. Attach the pump to the body where you can't see it.
2. Add an additional inline filter before the pump. The cheap filter they provide is too small to be great.
3. Use brake/fuel metal line as much as possible. You have way too much rubber hose. It is a fire risk.
4. Use a one way fuel check valve near the place of the manual pump. It keep the fuel from going back to the tank and needing to reprime.
5. Use a return line that goes back to the tank with a pressure regulator to insure good line pressure.
