Yes, me too. Well done.
 
To anything below 70 degrees the engine looks cold. So the fuel spray returns to fat droplets reducing the available surface area and this looks very lean to the engine. Thus the need to prime a bit even when warm.
 
The second advantage is that extra fuel helps seal the (don't let this slip out) poor sealing of the apex/corner/ side seal combination. So compression leak rates are high. This may cause even a slightly low battery to deliver less than useful starter cranking RPM.
 
Heat of compression helps fuel vaporize, and that makes starting easier. So crack the throttle a bit for start up so as to get some cylinder filling. No cylinder filling, no heat of compression, no start.
 
A start attempt should last at least 4 seconds. Each start attempt puts heat into the rotor and housing. This makes subsequent attempts more likely to succeed. So, now you can start any rotary............
