So you're fuel supply was non existent and your engine flooded after? I think what we have here is a failure to communicate. Also, when asking a maintenance question regarding your motorcycle, it's a good idea to mention what motorcycle you have.

+1 - there are several different katanas.

Most likely the float on that carb isn't sealing. O-ring went bad, float height is off, junk got stuck there keeping it open...
