I had stored my 400ex on its tale and i did drain the carb but not the fuel tank anyway about 4 days later i tried to start the bike and it was flooded beyond belief and about 1/2 the air box full of gas what do I do

HELP

drain the carb again, clean the plug or get a new one, and here's the low tech hill scoggin way of fixing it. step one, light match...step two, hold match near spark plug hole... steps 3 and four are optional 3.)trip to emergency room for facial burns 4.) tear down top end to retrieve match after dropping in spark plug hole

Take plug out. with the engine stop switch turned to off put a rag over the spark plug hole and spin the engine over. This will get the excess gas out of the engine.
