Ran out of fuel and now sometimes doesnt start...

We put a new (used) fuel sender in the car and it apparently doesnt read exactly like the old one and the kid ran out of gas. Even after getting it towed and filled, it wouldnt start so we primed the fuel system and it started; easy peasy.

Next day it started and he went to work. Then in the afternoon he went to get a haircut and it wouldnt start afterwards. I went up there, primed it again it again and it started.

Any ideas? It has a Walbro (to support the Tii conversion) and we replaced the fuel filter several years ago. He said that when it ran out of gas he tried to get it to start in bursts for 3 or 4 minutes total.
