My Massey 550 did the same thing a few years ago. I bought a new fuel transfer pump and while I was taking the old one off and putting the new one on I happen to look into the check valve immediately below the fuel pump. Rather than bright colored steel ball there was brown. Soybean chaff had broken through the screen in the sediment bulb and worked its way up the fuel line to the engine compartment. When the engine was off the chaff would float downward allowing fuel to the engine. When the engine was started the chaff plug would start to work its way up the fuel line getting stopped in the area of the check valve, then the engine would die. After a period of time it would start again and run for awhile. It could be your fuel pump or it could be a chaff plug that migrates up and down. I would take the fuel line off of the transfer pump, clean the check valve, then blow compressed air backward through the fuel line. Make sure the fuel line is off of the sediment bulb. I bet you will get this issue corrected. I took me several hours to figure it out. I changed the filters, bought a new transfer pump before I figured this simple problem out.
