I would pull your carbs, clean them and look for wear on your diaphrams and check your floats.

I have a 99 Kawasaki Vulcan classic one car bike why would the bike flood the back spark plugs and put gas in my air filter been trying to figure it out but I need help

Brandon, From Vulcan forum, one of the hoses that are hooked to the carb is a vent tube and may run up and under seat, if this hose is plugged or pinched it could cause similar issue to what you are experiencing. Links below discuss the issue you are presently having.
Check the attached links,instruction and guides,also you can also google (Kawasaki Vulcan flooding rear cylinders) for more info.
Good luck

Front cylinder fouls

try cleaning the carbs, changing plugs, and cleaning the fuel tank. If that doesn't work, it might be the piston rings are getting worn out or you cylinder sleeves need a honing.

After starting the 04 vulcan 800 i push in the choke and it dies. Is this a carb/plug problem or something else?

The machine is doing the right thing by dying. The role of the choke is to block the air intake and allow more gas to go into the carb. It is meant for starting a cold engine. If you apply choke to a running engine, it will flood the carb and cylinder and not allow it to ignite. The spark is enough to ignite a mixture os gas and air and not gas alone. Hence the engine dies. So give choke only when starting under cold/freezing conditions.
There is nothing wrong with your bike.
