NAA starting

Why does it take 8 or 9 starter revs to start the engine after setting 6 or more hours., choke or not choke, makes no difference. After the initial start will start o n the first starter rev any time,all day long. Engine is in good mechanical condition. I have raised the float level, no help. Any ideas?
 
My guess would be that the rings are starting to go so you don't have as much compression when the cylinders are dry and once you get it started and run it the rings get oil on them and the compression comes back up until it sits for a while and the oil drains back down.
 
Thanks for the idea. Think I"ll give each cylinder a squirt of oil before start up to see what happens. Will be a couple days. She is split right now as I am about to put a Sherman over/ under in it. Bought a basket case. Got the last of the pieces today.
 
10$ for a cheapy at hf when i bought one. ( I opted for the 20$ cheapy ).

PS.. most auto stores rent tools for free. IE.. small deposit that is returned after you return the tool.
