Some fuel pumps bypass at a higher than optimal carburetor pressure directly at the pump to keep the pump cooler. The bypass regulator up front also bypasses fuel, but at a much lower volume than the fuel pump is bypassing. I ran my fuel system like that for years at the recommendation of a fuel systems engineer.
