'85 740 GLE, hard to start. 700 1985

Hi all,
I have a '85 744 with 175K on it. I put in a new starter couple of months ago, but it still takes 2 tries to get the car started, once in a while it will start on 1 longer try. I have tuned it up with new plugs, oil, cap and rotor and even cleaned out the throttle butterfly area and the flame trap. What am i missing or do they all just start like this?

Confused in North Dakota.
Leon
