Was wondering if you can hook the tank up straight to the carb or if you had to hook it up the fuel pump.

No reason to not run the integral fuel tank and by-pass the pump. Make sure the engine will hold WOT without surging when you get it going. If it surges then check for restrictions as outlined below.
Have you pulled the pick up out of the tank to make sure it is clean and the screen is clean?
How about the shut off valve...pull that apart as well and clean as necessary.
If the tank is spotless and you have a screen in the pick up you shouldn't need an external filter.
Also...you may want to peruse the pages of https://www.aomci.org for parts and information on that engine as needed.
