I used to have flooding problems with my non-turbo 87 RX7, but it would usually occur after sitting all night.

Hot start problems are very common. You'll find a lot of threads on it if you search the section. This is one explanation: https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...ight=hot+start

Your issue sounds like it may have been a leaky injector pooling fuel after sitting.
