Keith: I will throw this out there. I have ran into tractors doing this. I found that to actually find the trouble you have to be in field conditions. Meaning moving around on different slopes. You could have some thing floating in the tank that only causes trouble when sloshed around.
I had a JD 4020 that was doing what your talking about. I flushed the tank and changed the filters several times. I changed the fuel transfer pump. I even tore the injection pump down to look for anything. Removed all the fuel lines and blew them out clean. I finally was so sick of the tractor I installed a small fuel tank along the frame. The tractor ran fine for a whole day doing hay work. I took the tank out of the frame and flushed it again. I caught everything that came out of the tank. Nothing that would restrict the fuel flow. So I took a nibbler and cut the tank in half. Found a bunch of straw looking weed stems in the tank. They would kind of float but would stick to the sides of the tank when you tried to flush them out. I asked the owner about it. He told me that until the winter, before his trouble, the fuel gauge did not work and he just stuck the tank with whatever was handy. ERGGGGGG!!!!!! He about had a heart attack when I showed him the hours of labor we had in finding his trouble. LOL.
So look for something in the tank. I do not know how the tank is shaped in the tractor your working on. One of those little cameras that you look into walls and such might let you look closer at the tank when drained.
