Clean the spark plugs, I've herd run seafoam? I use ATF on my 2nd gen just pull both top plugs and pour it in (Use a funnel lol), replace plugs, turn over.

Well thats alot of gas, I keep my friends 79SA running well I've seen his plugs soaked, never bothered to look in the exhaust manifold. Now of course gas will go down the exhaust when its not starting, eventually it'll evap though.

Your oil smells like gas and has that shiny appeareance to it? Change your oil good before you do the above :X, gas in the oil is blowby/weakened o-ring seal. It's normal to an extent, my oil was like that after some bad flooding, now it just smells a tad like gas but no shiny look.
