Gas in the oil?

[sharper410]

I'm trying to resurect a 5.0 liter fuel injected Volvo engine that hasn't ran in about 4 years. I've already drained all the old gas and replaced the fuel filter. It was turning over freely and I was able to get it to start a few times but the rpms were very low even with the throttle wide open. Now it suddenly is struggling to turn over (I recharged the battery already) and it seems like there is gas in the oil. Any suggestions about what may be causing this?

Ayuh,.... Sounds like you Flooded it,... Really Bad...

You need to change the oil now. Right away.

I changed the oil as soon as it happened. The flooding makes sense as there was gas sloshing around in the intake manifold. Guess I should pull the spark plugs and see if they are soaking in gas. Anyone else have any suggestions?

4 year old fuel in those fuel lines could have clogged the injectors...? You may need to pop the fuel logs off the intake, remove the injectors and clean them up.

Kind of figured the injectors are somewhat clogged. Pulling them out should be easy but how do you go about cleaning them? Again, I appreciate the help already provided and to come.
