Hard starting at 8500 feet 850 1995

Mornings, and after driving many miles the previous day, my 95 850 (133 K) starts very roughly (sometimes not at all) at 8500 feet where I now live. At 6200 feet, no problem. Twice I have had to tow to Volvo. Their diagnosis: manifold is flooded, plugs fouled. Cleaned all, starts fine for them, but back at 8500 feet, it's like starting on 1 cylinder. Eventually it chugs away till all's fine, and continues running quite well. The car does not burn oil.

Owned the car since new, never had any problems till I moved to high altitude.

Any clues?

Thank you in advance
