FC flooding

Hey, I'm having some issues with my 1988 FC na. If I try starting it in the morning it won't start, but then later in the evening it will start right up no problem. At first I thought it was a fuel pump issue, and after replacing it the engine worked fine for a while after, but I'm getting the same issue again. The engine seems to almost be flooding itself after it sits for a little bit. If I do manage to get it started early it will spit smoke for a little bit, maybe 1 or 2 minutes, then clear up. It doesn't smell like coolant , and the coolant level doesn't seem to be going down, any thoughts?
