Yes, that could have been MUCH worse!

A couple of things, what filters are you using? I have a 100 micron before the pump and a 10 micron before the carbs. Clean fuel is a must.

Secondly, if you had that much fuel pouring down your intake, change your oil. It doesn't take much gas in your oil to damage your internals.

Many of the weber guys use an electric fuel pump and shut it off a block or two before they stop to help reduce the amount of fuel in the carbs to reduce boil over.
