You're describing the classic "hot soak" flooding condition. The fix is simple- - - -hold the throttle wide open, and once the engine fires (yes, it will start if you don't get impatient and start doing a Jose' Greco flamenco dance on the gas pedal) continue to hold full throttle until it clears out and starts to rev up. Then back off just enough to prevent over-revving and throwing a rod, and hold a fast idle speed long enough for things to smooth out. This procedure was common knowledge back before computers and fuel injection dumbed everybody down.

Good day Hotrod Lincoln!
That seemed to have worked for me once I got back from a drive at home this afternoon. As described, it stuttered and stammered until it cleared out and ran fine and I held the throttle all way open. Thank you as always!
Question on that hot soak issue. Does it get better in cooler weather? It's been in the mid 90's with about 45% humidity when it does this.
