You will need a maintenance manual for this full proceedure or visit the site www.ex-500.com and read articles on this. It is too complicated to explain without pictures and in this small space. Basically it involves removing the cam chain tensioner, setting the camshafts and crankshaft on the appropriate marks. Reset the cam chain tensioner and reinstall.

The reason it is flooding out is your BOWL FLOAT Needle SEAT is not closing it off. You need to clean your CARB and change out your Needle if it is not working properly.
