    Either a valve in the pump is sticking or debris in the line. Most likely some debris in the line. Doesn't take much.

    Long time back, I had a 51 jeep pickup that some one (a PO) left the cap off of and hornets got in and built a nest. The guy cleaned it out as best he could filled it with gas and put a cap on. Ran fine, though every couple of months or so it would suck up small pieces of nest material and clog. Just hook up a tire pump to the feed line from the tank to the fuel pump and blow back through the system to clear it. Minor inconvenience.
