A stuck float will cause your motor to run rich, restarting it can be troublesome due to fouled plugs. Unless it is stuck "up" then no fuel will make it to the bowl. Remove needle and seat, clean or replace.
Next time it dies, turn off ign key and then remove sight plug from front fuel bowl, see if it has gas, bet it doesn't.
9 year old holley electric pump, that's a long time for those units.
Could be a clogged pick-up screen in the tank, it will get junk covering it until it can't suck gas. When pump is turned off, the debris falls off the pickup allowing it to run for a short period of time again.
You probubly don't have a carb problem, but a fuel delivery issue.
