a flooding carb let gas pass good compression rings. Engine wont start. Are lifters affected? Will new oil purge gas from lifters? Gas in oil is excessive.

Just change the oil an doil filter, run the car for about 20 miles or so and the gas should be gone. Fix the carb first though and don't do sort hops or let engine run for short periods of time, like idling or driving under 10 miles.
