unplug the fuel pump
start it
let it die
attempt to start it a few more times untill theres no fuel pressure left
hold the throttle down all the way
start the car, as soon as it starts let your foot gently off the gas

Do the unflood procedure, but also:
Pull out the plugs and dry them off/clean them up. If it's flooded pretty bad, the plugs will act fouled and not want to fire. I pulled mine out today and cleaned them up, and my rebuild fired up and ran instantly.
