Bukh diesel stops

Help my Bukh engine stalls when manoeuvring.
My 20 hp Bukh runs like a sewing machine until it is warm and I put
the throttle in neutral. It simply stops most of the time.
I have installed an electric pump near the tank so the system is
permanently filled with diesel.
I have checked the valve clearance, I have renewed the atomisers,
I have checked the filters for dirt or water.
After the engine stops it will start again quite easily.
I have checked the stopvalve.
Who knows the reason?
I hope your new fuel pump is downstream of the filter so it is sucking
fuel throught the filter instead of pushing it through. The pump will
probably break up any water in the fuel and make it hard for the water
separator to separate it out if installed so the fuel hits the pump
before the water separator. (Diesels only)
