Nine doesn't sound that unreasonable - I don't fly the Robins myself, but the club here is putting 1500 odd hours a year into their fleet of four (hence an engine change with new accessories nearly every year as no extensions allowed), and the cold weather starting procedure here states 10 priming shots - that's been working for all of the fleet at least since 2012. (You might want a translation tool if your French is basic or less) Do remember that this is the procedure for brass monkey cold (say sub-zero temperatures) though, the "normal" cold start is 3 shots, so choose a number between that works for your aircraft and the temperature you're operating in
You can sleep in an aeroplane, but you can't fly a house
