Bongo cutting out shortly after starting

I have a problem with my bongo and was wondering if anyone else has experienced it or could give some advice. When I start it up from cold, within the first couple of hundred yards it will splutter to a halt, usually at the first junction. It will start again, usually requiring a bit of encouragement, and from that point on it's fine. I've tried some fuel system cleaner but without success. Any thoughts would be appreciated....

Have you checked/changed the fuel filter or fuel strainer/banjo filter?

The fuel filter was changed last year but I haven't checked the banjo filter....

Have you been using veg oil at all or any sort of bio diesel, that can sometimes clog a fuel filter quite quickly.

Nope, just the regular expensive stuff!

definitely worth checking the banjo filter on top of the fuel pump - factsheet in the members area to help if you need.
