Question Flooding in mid-range temp

I finally got my car going good except when I leave it sit for like 1-2 hours. I go to start it and it is terribly flooded and i can barely get it to start, its just flooded to hell, but when i leave it sit all night it fires right away when its totally cold, and starts when it is at working temp. Any thoughts?

Sounds like your carb may be heating up after sitting, causing the fuel to boil over into the barrels. Do you still have your heat sheild? Check your float levels in the windows and make sure they arent too high. It should be right in the middle on level ground.
