Sounds like pieces of hoses are coming off inside the hose. Change the hoses.

it was metal pieces like the threads from from a bolt hole

Maybe they were in the carb from the start and finally got in the way. If they came from outside the carb it couldn't have been any farther back than the filter. I'd rinse out the lines and pump with gas just to be sure. Chinese quality control isn't the best so I'd say yeah, they might have come from the pump if the pieces were small enough. Rich
