Default 1983 GS550L Flooding Gas In Airbox

I have a question ? I have a 1983 Suzuki GS550L with the 2 2plunger carbs.I took the carbs apart to check if they where dirty because the bike has been sitting for 2 years.When i pulled the air filter is smelled like gas so i put it to the side till i find one.Well the problem is when i start the bike then shut it off gas fills up in the airbox. What could be causing this to do that ? Also is there anywhere i can get get parts for this bike or technical info on it as it seems kind of rare...Please let me know...Thanks
