I think the idea behind the check valve is to keep the carb from draining
back into the tank when the engine is off. I just can't imagine that it's
needed in our application--doesn't the mechanical pump already have a check
valve?

I've bypassed both the carb filter and the mechanical pump, but I have an
electric pump that gets fuel to the carb when the ignition is on.
