Engine flooding, won't start

I've been driving my 900 for over 10 years and 80,000km without a problem. So you can imagine my surprise when it died last week!
It's an '83 with the engine (and ignition, wiring harness) from a '91 turbo.
The engine started up perfectly (cold engine), idled for about 10 seconds, then died. I tried cranking, and nothing. Just the smell of gas. I checked the ignition system (with Bentley and multimeter), and determined the ignition module was bad. I installed new module, spark plugs, and an NTC sensor today.
Engine fired but died immediately, and there's a strong smell of gasoline. Plugs are wet.
I swapped the computer with a known good one too.
Any ideas?
