It's flooded to the point of Hydro lock. Test your glow plug, turn the car upside down to clear the flooding and try again.

Start by leaning the LSN about 1/8 of a turn. If it still does it clear the fuel out and lean another eighth.
Watch the temps when it does start just to make sure it's not so lean that it overheats.
