Start by making sure the choke butterfly isn't sticking shut. Also, check to see if the carb is dumping fuel into the engine. There could be a problem with the float.

Let me know what you find.

Suggested Repair

Check that the choke butterfly is not sticking shut and that the carburetor is not dumping fuel into the engine. Inspect the carburetor float for a fault.

Conversation Summary

A 1991 Subaru Justy 1200 with a three-cylinder engine starts, then fails to restart, and the exhaust smells of unburned gasoline. The coil was recently replaced and spark is good. The expert recommends checking for a sticking choke butterfly, excess fuel from the carburetor, and a possible float problem.
