Starting a Raven II

Just looking for a bit of advice on starting my Raven II. The guy I bought it from told me mixture full and rich, prime for 5 secs, mixture pulled out , turn over engine and as it starts mixture full and rich. If I do this it never starts first time, however if I repeat this exact process it always starts secong time. I have tried priming longer but seems to make no difference. Its not really a big problem for me but sometimes my passengers look a little apprehensive when it doesn't start first time. Its always kept in a heated hangar although sometimes doesn't fly for a week or two. Any thoughts? Thanks.
