TPI to carb swap

I'm switching from a TPI setup to a carb. I have installed a 5-7lbs fuel pump but it only has an inlet and outlet. Do I have to have the recirculating line connected, if so how? I know on the older mechanical fuel pumps there was no recirc. I just don't know about the electric ones. the pump is a summit SUM-G3136-1

Thank you

Re: TPI to carb swap

I ran a similar pump years ago on a carb'd application, and I did not use a return line. You should be fine, as long as the pump pressure is not too great for your carb.
