Extensive choke and throttle blips can flood it. Take out the spark plug, dry it off. Turn it over with the starter WITHOUT twisting the throttle with no spark plug, and choke OFF. You need to dry out the cylinder if it was flooded.

Then when you put the plug back in (gentle-don't overtighten), try and start with NO choke, and only twist throttle 1/8th. It should sputter and possibly run. Then, only choke briefly and very little throttle. It should spring to life. Get it off choke ASAP.

If it really wants choke to stay running for more than a minute, you need to rejet. If it was Winter, there might be a reason for more choke, but not this time of year.
