okay this all started when i wanted to take out a washer from my carb. i took the top cap off removed one washer and the bike did not take any throttle after that .. it would only idle.. any thottle and it would shot off..

so then i cleaned my jets just in case they were dirty... then put the carbs back on

i must have messed up the left carb float... the bike turned a few times then stopped i tried again i thought my batter died so again it turned and same thing it stopped and there was gas pissing out of the airbox over flow tube. i pulled the carb out and i put my finger in the left cylinder and there is a ton of gasoline... i hope i dint hydrolock or bend anything.., anycase very depressed.

what should i do now.. how do i get the gas out of the left cylinder?

Take both plugs out and hand crank the engine around a few times.  Don't send a spark anywhere around that gas coming out.   You will also most likely need to change your oil due to gas in the crankcase.  Check the oil level and check for a gas smell from the case.

Float height is and the needles is huge pain on these bikes.  Make sure your needle seat o-rings are in good shape too.  Check the float level first thing after opening up the carbs.  I got tired of all my float height issues and broke down and bought new OEM needle valve sets and haven't looked back.

Put the bike up on the center stand, shift it up into top gear, and turn the back wheel.

You DONT want atomised petrol flying around, find a syringe and some tube or borrow your mums turkey-baster.
