Could be a bad check valve in the fuel pump, but you need to also make sure your not sucking air anywhere in the fuel supply line first. Fuel pumps are fairly cheap for that engine, but a bad primer bulb can cause all of your problems.

In matter of fact, the fuel line is literally about 3 feet too long. I wonder if that has something to do with it. I'm going to shorten it up next time I go out and look for leaks. I'm thinking about going out one more time first thing in the morning before I head back home.

The extra lenght should not be a problem but it does cause the fuel pump to wrok a little more pulling gas through extra line. I'd replace the primer bulb first and check all you clamps. You could also have a clogged pick up located in the gas tank or the fuel pump could be weak.
