On first start from cold sometimes will not start first time

almost as if something doesn't have the power to turn over the engine,

revs will go up to 500 / 600 very sluggishly and then die to 0

sometimes sounds as if starter is overspinning after start up

only does this on first cold start - press start button 2nd time starts perfectly

I do have a video I can upload but not possible here
many thanks!
