Vapor lock?

Hey guys its john Arbuckle again. Well fuel continues to be an issue of
mine. I got the o grouch started but it continues to be an issue. I put a
new carer electric fuel pump dropped both tanks and replaced all the fuel
lines. This morning I went to start the thing and no go. I have to go to the
selector valve and disconnect the rear tank and place my finger over that
port, leaving the from tank connected. I turn on the ignition and gear the
fuel pump start up and then begin to prime. It then starts up. I then attach
the hose to the rear tank and it stays running for awhile. Once it runs for
awhile it begins to idle rough and dies. Is there something wrong with my
rear tank? Is the tank selector suppose to suck fuel through both ports when
running. Because I connected a piece of hose to one port of the selector and
turned on the pump and it drew gas out of a jar. With out touching the
switch in the cab I switched ports with the hose and it still drew gas out
of the jar. Any help would be great I am getting very frustrated with it.
Thanks guys.
