Will restart and run for a short time then shuts off. At first this only happened in air temperatures below 65 degrees. Ran fine in temperatures above 65. Now it does it regardless of temperature.

and use this guide when the engine is cold only:

Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.
