ok i have a 97 katana 600...i noticed when changing the oil there was gas in it...i removed the carbs and cleaned and inspected all parts and seemed to be ok...i installed them back on the bike and it starts and runs decent...i changed the oil with cheap stuff just to flush out the remaining gas and i noticed that gas went into the oil again...my question is what parts and seals need to be replaced to correct this problem? thanks

Welcome to the site.
It sounds like one of your floats are stuck. Remove float bowl and make certain the needle moves up and down freely and the floats actually float.2005 Gsx600f- My baby

Simple test to check where and verify if it's fixed...
Take the carbs off and set them on a bench. Fill the fuel lines/bowls with fuel. Once full, clean off the ends and blow on the fuel line.
If you can blow through them, there is a problme. Keep blowing and you will eventually see which carb bodies are allowing the fuel to get past.
Drain the bowls, remove the bowls for each that was leaking, inspect/clean the needles and needle seat areas, check the float heights when put back in and put the bowls back on. With the carbs empty of gas, blow on the fuel lines with them upside down. If you can not blow through them, turn them right side up and go back to testing with fuel in them.
If you can blow through them upside down.. you should take the bowls off, and try again upside down. You should be able to see specifically which needle(s) are not sealing off and need to be fixed/replaced.
Ultimately, before you put the carbs back on the bike... you should be able to fill them through the fuel lines with fuel and blow with nothing able to get through.
