Weird Startup issue on 81SC

So normally my 81SC starts with a quick blimp to the starter. No gas...nothing. Idles up and then when warm settles down perfectly/ Cold.....hot it does not matter.

This morning @68 degrees I hit the key and fires up for about 1 second then nothing. Try again...same thing. Try about 6-7 times with same result then suddenly it fires up like regular. I did notice that the OXY light was staying on during this but then again, maybe it didn't have enough time to shut off. Very weird. To be clear after it fired up the OXY went out and I warmed it up. Ran up the road a few times, idled in the garage for maybe 3 minutes and drove it into town. About an hour in and another back home. Ran perfectly. Did some reading and it doesen't sound like a O2 issue but man, sure has me stumped. Anyone experience this?
