starting issue

i got a 95 2wd 5spd 4.9 150. it runs great and gets 15mpg when i baby it, which i plan on making better. durring startup it usualy starts up after turning over twice. sometimes it starts up after 4 or 5 turnovers and then stumbles to life. it hasent affected the trucks driving performance, but it bugs me cuz i know something isnt right. the air filter plugs wires distributor cap and rotor are under 10k miles. theres 119k on it now. soon i can adjust the valves and put a new fuel filter on it. but what is it that causes the troubled start up at times?
