Spotty first layer...

I'm relatively new to 3D printing. I have a Kossel 2020 Delta printer and was using Repetier but upgraded to Simplfy3D.
The learning curve has been a bit steep. I got everything working now, but am having trouble with the first layer.
It's spotty. As if the printer needs a bit to get the PLA flowing. I was not having this issue with repetier. Am I missing a
setting?

Thank you

Re: Spotty first layer...

You could try adding a few more skirt outlines, since that will help prime the nozzle more before the part is printed.

There's a few other ideas at the link below that may also be good to check
