Most "4 kV" (or any high voltage) meters are actually 1 mA or similar
small-current meters that rely on an external, rather than internal,
multiplier resistor in order to achieve the scale indicated.

Have you actually measured the resistance across the meter terminals?
Unless it's in the Megohm region, you've got a low-current (typ 1 mA) meter
that needs an outboard multiplier resistor.  If so, just make that resistor
large enough to create any scale you wish.
