Default Hard hot starting.

I finally got my car on the road & I have found that after she reaches normal operating temps & I stop somewhere, when I restart the car, it cranks for a while & it seems like it may be flooded. It finally does start after maybe 10 seconds. I have a new Holley carb & have it re-jetted for my altitude here in Vegas. I also leaned out the mixture very slightly. I dont think I am starving the carb. It idles fine, is slightly sluggish at lower RPM's but seems fine. Cold starts are OK. I have not checked the timmimg, but I am thinking it should be OK. Anyway any help at this would be awsome!

Thanks!!
