Preventing a Hard Start Problem 700 1991

Season's Greetings!

Recently my car has had to crank for longer than usual (about 3-4 secs) before starting. It used to fire up after about 3 cranks.
Sparks were replaced about 2 months ago
Fuel filter about 1 month ago
AMM about 6 weeks ago
Oil trap cleaned out about 3 months ago

The fuel pump can be heard running at the #2 key position and runs steadily, although a little more noisy than before I changed the fuel filter.

The in tank fuel pump can be heard running.

Car otherwise runs great.

Suggestions for any inspection or preventative maintenance?
