If you have been cranking it a long time, unburned fuel has accumulated in the cylinders and even into the crankcase, drain oil and change oil and filter, then pull the vacuum line off the fuel pressure regulator, if ANY gas is in it, replace the regulator. DO NOT run it until you do the oil and filter!
