I'm saying a fuel can /bottle or whatever with a rubber hose fitted directly to the fuel inlet pipe on the carb , hold it above so gravity feeds it
i would stick to a known brand on the fuel pump , alot of the parts these days are dud straight out of the box

sounds like a dud pump ...cant you try it with a can /bottle of fuel held up above the carb to see if it will run

needs cleaning back to good bright metal then epoxy primer
painting over rust and old paint is just hiding it until its done right

maybe a dead segment on the starter or sticky brushes ...either way might not hurt to have it apart for a clean up and see what the brushes are like
otherwise are the battery cables and earths all clean and tight

barrier coat is the last resort
let it dry out and sand it back smooth , then light coats is the way to go

what size are we talking about , few overgrown pin holes you you clean up nice and cake it in sealer
if you have to weld it all properly then i fear you will need to repaint it

cant you just look out for some good used ones
i don't see any silver paint or sticky plastic is going to improve anything

how about when its stalling , raise the idle speed so it runs then get it on a gas tester and see whats going on , or fiddle with with the mixture and see if it will run
whats the fuel pump set up on it , too little /much pressure ?

the fact it starts fine with no choke and then needs half a choke to stay running when hot says to me wrong carb or big set up problems
double check for airleaks too
if pulling the choke out makes it run okay ish , then that ough to rule out the ign side of things as its clearly still working

depending on what you want to spend , hermes will be cheapest and offer and drop at the local corner shop option, you could pay for the service and print off the label then post it to the guy if he doesnt have a printer
otherwise a few of the parcelmonkey /parcels2go places will bring thier own label but it will be dearer
