Default Re: Starting problems

Doubt it is the timing. If it was too far advanced the engine would hold back and not want to turn over.

Flooding sounds good. Why don't you try it at home, or where ever you work on the car. Run it like you usually do, shut it off and then wait the length of time you usually do also. Then try and start it. If it doesn't start right away. Stop trying and pull one or two center spark plugs and see if they are "wet". That will tell you if the carb is flooding.
