Having to crank a few times to fill the float bowls is not such a bad
thing - because it allows the oil pump to start lubricating the engine
before it starts firing. As long as you're not cranking so long that
the starter slows down because the battery is getting drained, I
wouldn't worry about it (I often wish my GT6 would start less quickly,
so I wouldn't hear that awful rattle of dry bearings!)
