Grey/white smoke is running lean and plus the fact it cuts out as well points to a fuel issue.
Crack the return line banjo open a bit with the engine running and see if the clacking stops.

I don't think if return line was blocked it would starve of fuel, more like have to much, but I did loosen the 17mm bango that feeds the cigar hose to the return, just leaked fuel over the top of spin on filter, no difference in clacking.
I then loosened the injector line to the top of each injector . . . it just stalled down the engine a bit, but with change in rpm, it was hard to tell if clatter went away . . . seemed the same on each injector, also spilled diesel on the tops of them . . .
Here is a video, listen to the clacky clatter come and go, I'm sorry the sound is not real good, it sounds much more distinct in real life, but it does seem to clatter for 5 sec, then quiets down like normal, then starts again with no input from me . . .

Should I just change the filters? I am hesitant to do that until I use up more of this fuel . . . It has the same filters it came to me with, I have about 10,500 miles on it, and they were changed less than 1K before I got the car.
