engine was idling a little rough when first started. shut engine off, restart and it would idle a little better. shut engine off and restart again and it would idle good and run fine until i came to a stop. if stopped less than 15 seconds, no problem. if stopped longer than 15 to 20 seconds rough idle would return but would go away as soon as i turn engine off and restart. went through this cycle for a few months, then one day it just would not start. i will gladly make a nice donation if answer solves problem.
