Jason,
Replace the float needles. An easy fix.

Subject: Gas in oil
Last week I put my bike up and did not turn the gas taps off. A couple of
days later I went to ride it and noticed a ton of gas had leaked out of the
carbs. I checked the oil before starting the bike and it was the pan full
of gas. So I changed the oil out. I have heard this could happen but it
seems like I use to be able to leave the gas taps on and not have any
problems.
I am also still having problems maintaining an idle and the bike seems to
bog down (engine sounds lower and very slowly accelerates - even accelerates
better when letting a little throtle off) when accelerating past 60 mph. I
have mentioned this before but I have still not taken the carbs apart to see
what is going on. I am planning on going through them ASAP, I have the
Premier Handbook should this be a good enough guide for a first timer? What
parts should I order - just the gasket kit from mgcycle? Any other tips or
suggestions would be appreciated.
