Default GS400 hard to start

Car turns over a few too many times before starting. Sometimes it does start right away if it has been recently started but more often than not it doesn't.

If I were to guess I would say the check ball in the fuel pump is done and bleeds off too much pressure when the car sits or something else fuel pump related.

areyou sure its not the starter itself? GS400s are prone to starter issues with that stupid design.

It turns over rapidly not slowly so I was ruling out the starter. Am I wrong?
