People don't normally run a rubber line from pump to carb because the gas will eat the rubber. And when not running the engine, the hose will dry out and crack causing fuel leaks. If it's just temporary, you can run a rubber line from pump to carb, but if you plan on it being permanent, don't do it. It's more of a safety precaution not to run rubber from pump to carb.
