Engine dies

I have a gas atomic 4 in a 82 Cat 27. For the last couple months the motor dies at about the same time almost every time I go out. I motor at about 3k from my house out the channel and then take it up to 5+K and it dies within 100 to 300 yards. It starts right up without any problem and then may die one or 2 more times in the next couple minitues and then run fine for the next 45 min to hour and a half. I have replaced fuel filters, elect fuel pump and carb and the problem is still the same. I have also put on a sueeze bulb to presurise and check for air leak but seems fine.

ANY SUGESTIONS OR HELP WOULD NE MOST APPRECIATED
