Timing adjustment

I have a 2002 Kawasaki Vulcan classic 800. After sitting in the garage for a while I tried to start the bike but could not get it to turn over I then used a bit of starting fluid to get it to start. The bike started and idled fine then I noticed when I turned the throttle it would sputter and stall. I checked out the air cleaner and noticed it was saturated with fuel. The bike now spitts fuel from the carburator as well as sputters due to flooding. Do you think I messed up the timing? If so is there a way I can adjust it. I have no way to get it to a repair shop since it will not go. Any suggestions?
