The R40 has an on board computer with a photocell that views the flame color. If the photocell does not like the color of the flame, then the heater shuts down....within 5 secs.
Your problem could be:
  1. the air pump pressure incorrect..
  2. defective electronics.
  3. restricted fuel supply.
  4. air leak in air line or fuel line
You must troubleshoot each of the above- starting with setting the pump pressure.
