Here is a simple question. Do you regularly make it work hard or does it just "pussy-foot" round with a lawn mower on the back most year round? I mean giving it at least half a day hard plowing. Odds on the answer is "no". If that is the case, then you possibly have glazed bores, poorly seating rings and low compression, resulting in poor starting. I would expect some oil usage in this condition. Have you checked the valve clearances lately?. It might just need a service. Is the thermostat working properly. If the engine is run too cool all the time there could well be build up around the injector nozzles leading to poor starting. What is the pop pressures for the injectors. If too low it may well manifest itself as poor starting. Is the pump timed correctly. Should be .....but...if not result can be poor starting. Will it restart if, on starting in the morning, you immediately stop it before it warms up and then come back to start it in, say, an hours time? If it is OK afterthe hour or two it may be a leak in the injection system (like posted below or elsewhere}. Is the battery/charging system up to scratch? Is the starter motor running at a good speed? Either could cause poor starting due to slow cranking. Not a lot, but just a few points to clear up before we progress deeper with the problem. Could be any of these and several others. Alternatively it may soon need a major overhaul
