You don't say how you start it, or try to, so I'll post this just in case.

Especially when hot, the car does not like you to even TOUCH the throttle before starting it, or it floods.

Even if you just catch the pedal when getting in, it can cause probs.

If it DOES flood, keep cranking it on the starter, while gently pressing the throttle pedal until it reaches the floor. Release it when the car fires.
