Default Fuel Starvation

About 5 months ago I fixed a fuel starvation issue with my 2008 Club Car DS buy replacing the fuel pump, fuel lines, filters, impulse line and clamps. I also checked to ensure the gas pickup tube in the tank was not clogged, the vent was working and that there was no debris in the tank. The carb vent tube was working. I also ensured the impulse line was not too long. I had no more fuel issues until now. The starvation issue occurs only on the return trip after the cart has been driven for a long distance - 7 miles or so each way. The engine will sputter to a stop, but will restart and run for a short distance after I let it set for a few seconds. This repeats over and over again as I drive, but I can halt the starvation by running with a light throttle. When the engine stops, the filter before the pump is about half full, but the one after the pump is virtually empty. After the cart sits for a hour or so, both filters are full. I can find no fuel leaks, and the vent lines are OK. Any ideas would be appreciated.
