My 1973 Skyhawk has the 360/180 hp engine carburated.
When the engine is hot it is difficult to start.
My procedure is master switch battery side on, fuel pump on. Prime throttle 3
times. Fuel pump off, turn starter while advancing the throttle.
Today she would not fire and the battery went south.

Master, fuel pump, no primer, mixture rich, crack throttle. Crank.

After 2 tries, if it will not start in this manner, then I assume it
is not longer 'hot' and prime regularly.

This is on a Cherokee 180... I believe it is easier to start than
most when hot.
