engine flooding with oil

When you refilled the transmission, did you put in the recommended 650 ml (2/3 quart) of oil?
If you put more, drain it out and refill with the correct amount.
Once you've done that, build/purchase a leak down tester and leak down test the engine to make sure that the crank seal isn't blown out now.

I thought it said 1.2 in manual oh shoot that may be my prob only 2/3 of 1 qt oops. wow correct me if I am wrong
650 mL is the recommended amount of transmission fluid.
1 mL = 0.00105668821 US quarts
So 650 mL is 0.6868473332305001 US quarts. 2/3 = .666666666 ∞
SOOOOO, drain out the transmission and fill it with 2/3 of a quart of fluid (either 10X30 motor oil, ATF, or some sort of gear save gear oil, whatever you choose).
A leak down tester is a device which blocks the exhaust port ensuring an air tight seal, pressurizes the intake boot to a desired amount of pressure, and then has a function to track pressure loss.
Usually an expandable rubber plug for the exhaust port, a PVC adaptor in the intake manifold with a small piece of hose and a low pressure gauge installed with a schrader valve to add air from a bicycle tire pump.

kgibson is right.
I probably should have mentioned that the reason to leak test the engine is to find out whether the case or the crank seal is leaking.
I have heard before of people who had blasters which were running good who refilled the transmission fluid to the top and the crank seal let loose under the pressure. I don't know how that works exactly (it seems to me that the only thing filling the transmission up would do is increase the pressure on the outside of the seal by a few inch of water while the pressure inside the crankcase is going from between -30 in mg to 10 PSI) but I've heard of it happening.

you know what when my piston cranked last season i poured oil down where the crank is from the head and i figured it would go into the transmission just trying to clean anything that might have gone down there from the piston and i forgot to change the oil but from what it sounds like that oil actually isnt going into the trans because there is a seal so that would be why my cylinder is flooding with oil
Yes that would be a mistake. you might want to clean that out and put tranny fluid on the right side and oil in your gas for the motor I use a gear or clutch saver for the tranny and some fancy 2 stroke oil for the gas from the yamaha shop no problems
