Ck the fuel tank petcock for proper position. Fuel is filling your cylinders and pasing the rings into the crankcase. Diluted oil will take out bearings. Good luck. I you must, turn off your fuel when parked and not running.

I can give you the part numbers for the manuals you will need, not sure your year but the supplement manual part number is 99924-1185-50 then you will need a base manual that part number is 99924-1055, I would look on eBay, you find a lot of manuals on there.
Fuel leaking into air box.
Probable best to take the carbs back, as there may be something clogging one of the float needle jets.
Although the bike is getting old, the floatlevels dont normally wear out of adjustment, as they have a neoprene end on one end of the needle and a spring loaded pin on the float end,
Unless there is damage to one of the floats.
Note ethanol in fuel can affect some carb parts like neoprene seals

Japanese bikes change things so often it gets near impossible to find direct replacments.
You may want to try klsupply.com (K&L Supply Co.). Back when I used them for older bikes they seemed to have a good selection of after market direct replacement parts.
You may also be able to look up OEM parts and numbers at Riva's web site (search "riva" or "riva motorcycle parts"). Its a dealer ship with a parts locater where you can view the microfishe and get part numbers.
Lastly you can also try Tucker Rocky. Its a wholesaler but that is one of the larger suppliers to the motorcycle parts stores.

What kind of exhaust do you have? If you jetted the carbs you will ned an exhaust sytem capable of handleling the extra volume of gas and air, how is your breather is it clean and unobstructed? I would go with a K$N style aqnd a Kerker header on this. I used that set up on my KZ 1000 with 32mm carbs and could break the rear loose at 65mph in 3rd gear. Bottmom line is all theses have to work in unison to get all the power you need. Breather, carb and exhaust. You also might want to check your spark plugs for correct gap and wear.
Just rebuilt head, new head
If the compression is OK and the head gasket is OK there is possibly a crack in the head.
Hard work sometimes rebuilding engines to find more faults.
