Question warm start issue

I've been pleased as can be starting my 72 911T this season, up until now. I thought I had a rhythm going.
1,Throttle up
2, let the pump work for a 5-7 count
3, crank the engine for little 5 count
4, let sit for a moment
4, repeat, and and off we go!

The last two times I went to start the car, it had been sitting out in 90+ degree weather and took a boat load of tries. Is it possible that just like a cold weather start there are warm weather issues as well, or am I just a clueless somehow?

You have to let the pump work until it changes tune. You can hear when the lines are full of fuel. Try starting then. I had the same problem with my 72E until my mechanic told me what was happening.
