This started about a month ago where if left for a period of time (overnight etc) it will not crank on the first try but would on the second try now it takes several times cycling on and off before it will start. It cranks good at that point and runs fine. No gas smell or anything like that. New battery just last year... help if you can.

 

Swap out the starter relay first, see if that solves it.

Moving this to the correct section for ya as well.

 

What engine? Are you losing any coolant?

 

starter relay, fuel pump losing prime, neutral safety switch/clutch interlock
