I cut mine when i put a walbro in. It helps to keep fuel in the bucket, along with keeping the pump cool. The stock pump (as you likely know) has a pump to pull it in the bucket, then the pump to send it to the engine. Being that you're eliminating that, you need the extra area open to allow fuel to surround the pump. IIRC, i read that the number one killer of walbros is excessive heat. my .02.
