Not much info to work with here. Does the engine spin up fast enough? Is the battery strong? Next step would be to get some diagnostics done to help get to the problem.

Hi thanks for that. Have changed the battery and each time we do a engine diagnostic it gives different options. Have changed a few things but still the same. Not that I like doing it I have given a quick burst of easy start and it starts and runs fine. It's as if it's not getting that first bit of fuel on start up then it's fine. Cheers.
