Try to remove the sparkplugs and use a screwdriver (carefully!) as a 
dipstick. You'll quickly find out if there's any amount of fuel in there.

My experience with rich running engines is that the fuel will rather 
accumulate in the muffler than in the sump, as long as the engine's 
running. I have heard of examples of fuel in the sump, but not many times.
