I can't see from that early pic what pump you are running,but yes you must have a lot of pressure for that to happen,don't think you could restrict flow effectively besides it won't do the pump much good also.
Have a look @ the pump our host sells I think its the CB Performance rotary type,these are rated and set @ 3.5 psi from memory and many of the VW guys use these without a regulator,there is a pump made by Carter and one made by Holley (blue type) these are low pressure but would require a regulator.
You would most likely get these @ a local car part supplier in your area.
Which ever you choose bear in mind you don't really need too much more than 10 psi (unregulated) from any pump you use for carbs.
It goe's without saying that you need to get this sorted for "running in" your new motor.
Good luck.
