Default Fuel getting into the airbox. 82 XJ 550 Maxim

I have a 82 Yamaha XJ 550 Maxim. The bike ran fine and now it is pouring fuel out the air intake. I have changed the needle and seats and adjusted the floats. It will idle and then when I rev it to 6000rpms then when I let off it will shoot the fuel out the air intake (coming from the crankcase) I donīt know what else to do. Is it a carb problem or something else like a valve???????
