Long crank time

I've got an 08 hyster that has a long crank time every time it starts. I've done the normal tuneup stuff , plugs, wires, and filters, and even rebuilt the vaporizer. It runs great after it starts, just takes too long to crank up. Any suggestions?

Could be a sluggish fuel lockoff valve or a gummed up regulator. ( If it is running on LPG.)
