    Sounds like your carb is leaking into the cylinder and getting passed the rings. Float might be stuck. I'd check that carb and then you might want to check your rings and cylinder wall to make sure there's no damage from thinning the oil out. Compression check once you've cleaned all that gas out should tell you some.

    The carb was flooding the engine so I adjusted the floats maybe I adjusted the flat to much possibly ?! Thanks I'll try compression also

    I bet there's a problem with your case halves sealing. Nothing from the crankcase should be getting into the gear case. Anyhow, I would suspect your needle and seat are worn not shutting off the supply of fuel. Also make sure you always turn the petcock off when not running.
