Don't sit cranking the engine for a long time.

Wait for a while, that will give the battery time to recover and the excess fuel to drain and or evaporate away.

On the next start attempt I suggest half throttle and mixture to cutoff. When the engine fires, close the throttle and put the mixture rich.
