Default 2001 workhorse subaru engine wont run unless crankcase breather is plugged

Hello,
I recently bought this 01 workhorse at an auction. I was told it ran great but the oil light flickers occasionally. I got it home and it would run for a few minutes then it wouldn’t start. I checked the oil and it was so low it didn’t appear on the dipstick.
I drained what oil there was, refilled etc and the cart ran great for a few minutes then died. Getting great spark, checked all fuel lines and hose clamps. My son figured out that where the crank breather hose connected to the air cleaner housing there was electrical tape holding the end of that hose together. If someone held their finger over the end of that hose to seal it and you push the gas pedal there is suction on that hose. After turning the motor over for several seconds you could hop on the cart and take off and it would run great for an unknown amount of time. So, i cut the air filter end of that hose off and plugged it with a bolt and the cart runs great.
My question is, am I doing damage to the cart running it this way? My thought is that the fuel pump was failing and maybe plugging this hose helps it limp along.
