About the pressure in the tank, are we talking muffler pressure or something else? (never assume, you know).
Muffler pressure with a check valve if using just a regulator. If using a pump and regulator, then muffler pressure won't be used and the nipple plugged in the muffler. Here's a video of a guy using a cut up Walbro carb - he used the pump and regulator it looks like.
