Always start on second try

[murganhjga]

Hi everyone,

This is my first post here! I must confess, I don't know much about scooter mechanics...
I recently offered myself a Kymco Super 8 50cc 2 stroke from 2013, second hand (I'm the 3rd owner).
It has done 4800km.

My first question is about this:

The scooter usually only starts on the second try. I push the button for a second or two, but it doesn't start. On the second try, it always starts nicely.
What can I do to fix that?

My thoughts are:
- battery -> I don't know if 3 years/4800km is a lot, and it needs to be replaced
- spark plug -> I read it needs to be changed every 5000km, but don't know if that would cause my issue

Or maybe it's something else, I'm counting on you 

Thanks!

Mine is the same when the weather is cold. Best I can figure is that because it takes vacuum to start fuel flow, gas doesn't get to the motor right away.

OK that's good cause it's not a big deal then.
Any solution though?
