Starts hard

Hyster with GM 3.0 L LP, starts hard first thing in the morning, once it does start it will start fine the rest of the day, until the next morning then it does it all over again???
Anyone have any ideas? I'm stumped!

Thanks in advance-

Tune up? New spark plugs do wonders. I do not recommend ether on forklift engines.

Negative! Customer had a different company working on it and they replaced the reg. and didn't fix it. Other company left them with a can of ether and said "good luck"....
