Sounds like a fueling issue. Your repeated attempts at starting it after a no start sounds like fuel moving slowly through a dirty fuel filter. After a few attempts you are giving the fuel more time to get thru the filter…and then it starts. I would start there…also or maybe before that…if and when it does this…loosen the gas cap…it may not be venting…which will act just like the dirty fuel filter because it has a had time sucking/pumping fuel. These are two good, easy and very cheap things to try first.
