SPS Starting Woes

Is there a knack that I'm missing to starting a 996SPS when it's been standing for anything more than a day?

It turns, and coughs and wheezes fine, but takes about 7 or 8 attempts to actually get started, by which point I'm sure the battery and starter wiring are getting ready to throw in the towel!!!!

Is there something I need to do to make this easier, or is this another bit of 'character' that has to be lived with?

When it's warm it starts fine (once you get the engine to actually turn over...that starter motor doesn't half struggle!).
Cheers

Giles
