So, fuel pumps go out when they are hot which sounds like what is happening, but to be sure you can spray a little starting fluid inside the intake when it is starting hard and if that fixes it replaces the fuel pump. Here is a guide to help and I have included how to change out the fuel pump in the images below.

You are lucky because there is a trap door, so you don't need to remove the fuel tank. Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.
