"Flooding" as it is called is way over rated as a cause for an engine 
not to start -- mostly, it means that you don't have enough spark to 
fire a dense air fuel mixture or the plugs are bad. An accelerator pedal 
held on the floor with several seconds of cranking with a good battery 
will clear the combustion chambers of  of any supposed excess fuel.

Meaning -- check your ignition system for spark -- if you have it at the 
coil, check for it again at the end of a spark plug wire.   A timing 
light can be useful here as a spark check tool.
