If it goes away with a full tank it's your intank fuel filter sock. It gets clogged, either buy a new one or clean the current one with clean gas.

My vert was doing this and I found and injector plug that was broken. It was actually making the injector come slightly unplugged when I went around a corner.

That does indicate the problem is starvation related and nothing else.

So I would pull the pump, check the screen again, also check that the depth is good (that the assembly didn't get bent and the fuel pump is sitting too high).

I'd also check to see if there is any sign of rust or damage to the tank that the internal baffles are messed up
