The 4000 always was a poor starter from new. It would always start but would churn over for a long time with clouds of white smoke. They are greatly improved if you have a manifold pre heater. Check your intake manifold just after the hose connection at the front, you should have a pipe and wire fitted around the back. If so, turn your start key slowly towards the start position, you should notice a point when the dash lights go out before the starter turns over. This is the heat position. Hold the key here for about 20 secs then move to start. You will find this is a great improvement.
