Ed,
First off.. ALWAYS SHUT THE GAS OFF!!! (I had a 8n Ford that did that)
As for the wt of the oil, either find theIT manual or call your local dealer where you find your parts.
As for any damage... I highly doubt that you did any damage in fact you probably gave the engin a good cleaning ( now you will probably have alot of little oil leaks that were plugged by the crud but I wouldn't worry about them unless they got worse..
Oh and another thing.. Keep a close eye on you oil level after you change it, you may notice a rise in oil consumption for a while... (mine did)
As for why it did it? simple... stuck float in the carb.--could be dirty,corroded needle valve or a bad float, but my bet is on its either dirty or wore out--
You may want to think about rebuilding the carb sometime.
