Hard To Start In Cold Weather...

Someone please help me! I'm new here, but I just got a 90 rx7 vert - did the whole tune-up thing and it was doing fine until just recently. It's super-duper hard to start when it's a little chilly out. Battery is cool, it tries to start, but just won't catch. I've flooded it, a couple times, and finally got so frustrated that I had it towed to a garage. They just told me what I knew - flooded the engine. So I got it home and drove it fine for a week, jumped in it one morning and it didn't wanna start up again! What am I doing wrong????

damn stop floooding the car. you should have a tank close to the windshield wiper fluid motor. that tank is for cold weather start up aid. i forgot why it happens to rotaries. but just fill it up with 90 percent water and 10 percent windshield washer fluid(or backwards not sure) and it should help.
