Deutz F4L 1011F start failure

Hello, I have a Genie Z60/34 with a Deutz F4L 1011F engine. When I start the engine it runs erratically and does not respond to the throttle. after +/- 40 seconds the engine runs well. the injectors, fuel pumps and feed pump have been replaced, there are no leaks in the fuel supply and the valves have been readjusted. Anyone have an idea where this error could be coming from?

check the fuel supply hose from the fuel tank, make sure it is not pinched or damaged at any point between the tank and the engine. It does run across from one side to the other and is routed umong all the hoses and can get pinched. Check it where it comes out of the tank and turns towards the frame where it transitions over, it could be collapsed.
The other issue i can think of is it just has air in the lines and needs to be ran for a bit to purge out all the air. (unless you have a bad hose allowing air to get in the lines).
I had one do this before and it wound up being a bad fuel supply hose that was pinched and was causing an air pocket in the line, it ran like this too until i replaced that hose. I would also double check all the lines at the injectors and the pumps/filters, make sure they are all in good condition.

At the opening ceremony of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1932, marching bands were instructed to walk out of step as they crossed the bridge. This unusual directive was given as a precaution due to concerns about the bridge's structural integrity during its early use.
