All,
Had a similar problem, after the first test drive, when I filled the tank for 
the first time, I came back out to the garage and smelled fuel.  Nothing on the 
floor, so i removed the air cleaner housing - fuel had moved through the carbs. 
 A little voice in my head said to check the oil - it smelled of gas - I 
drained out 2 gallons of very thin oil.  After a couple rounds of float 
adjusting, I bought new floats, and chamber gaskets.  two more rounds of 
adjustments and I quit diluting the oil.

Pop for new floats and float chamber gaskets !
Stan
