Wished I could help you more but really the only info that I can reference off of is the fact you say fuel started comming from a tube in the back, and now the airbox has fuel in it.
First off I want to point out Im not a expert atv mechanic but Sounds like it flooded pretty bad if there is a puddle of fuel in your airbox, take off the air breather, and see if you have fuel comming out your carb. If it is a carb problem I would say its probaly the float is hung, or needle has trash.
If thats the case I would take the carb off and clean it, 1987 model probaly rebuild it.
Shouldnt be more than a couple hour project at most.
I sure loved my 86 model fourtrax, except the brakes they sucked!
Hope you get it going

I have an 88' same thing happend. But, i used jb weld on tha tank. Then to have it start floodin out real bad. Noticed that when i pulled on tha throttle' that tha needle was hangin up . And not goin straight throu inside carb. Gas was in airbox, and pourin into intake on motor side. I know it doesn"t have nothin to do w/gas tank but' just sayin
