There is a breather hose that runs beside the down tube where you place the fuel. Chances are it is plugged. Take a wire or something that you can poke down through it to determine if there is a blockage. If there is, the fuel going into the tank, which is pushing out the air in the tank, fills back into the filler tube turning the pump off.

Let me know what you find.
