dt466e start problem and exhaust smoke

I have a school bus with a dt466e engine with 206k miles. Sometimes, but not always it takes a long time to start and when it starts it produces a huge cloud of smoke which goes away quickly. Other times it starts perfectly fast with no smoke. Does anyone know what the problem could be? Thank you

Is there any variability in the weather conditions during those events?
And more importantly, what color is the smoke?
