There is no-one who can tell you if the crank seals are ok , I would change them unless the bike runs fine after you are done with the carb !
Reg the carb , I have never worked on a dirtbike that old , but it sounds like the float valve is leaking. Check there isnt dirt/crud between the needle and seat. Sometimes it is possible to polish the needle and seat with tooth-paste , or some kind of polish for chrome and alu. That is , if the needle is made out of metal. If the carb still over-flows , try tapping the side of the floatbowl with a screwdriver. You might need a new needle. It would be helpfull if you could find out what the float height should be , and adjust it , if nessecary.
There is a guide at the Forward Motion site ( link on the left ) explaining how the different carb circuits work , but there is certainly no screw to adjust high speed. 
There is a throttle stop screw , to adjust the idle speed. Then there is an airscrew , to adjust the idle mixture along with the slow jet.
The needle position and the Main Jet takes care of the upper register , but read the guide........

Good luck !
