help with my rex that won't start

i have an 88 rx7 non-turbo and today it is not starting for me. i went to start it and it kind of sputtered around 1000 rpm and then stalled. and when i went to start it again it wouldn't catch and i started to smell a lot of gas. it just kind of turns and turns and turns but doesn't catch and there is a strong smell of gas. is the engine flooded out or something? i think this same thing happened before and the guy told me something about there was a lot of gas in with the oil and they had to drain it. does that sound like the problem? and if so, do i need to take it to the dealer or can just anyone take care of it?

thanks for any help.
