Despite your answer is correct (pump runs only when engine is running), IMO
the explanation is not :-) A running fuel pump means not necessarily that
the engine "sucks off". There is on every engine always a possibility to
return not needed fuel to the tank or to stop the pump from further
flooding the carburettors while the engine is running. Otherwise your
engine would have to consume the MAXIMUM fuel rate the pump can give ALL
the time and there would be no chance to save the extra fuel when running
with lower gas position.
