Did you check the plug. If it is fowled or the plug is not gapped properly it will not fire or run efficently and will shut off.
What is the model number? Could be a number of things, depending on which technology is used on your particular 55,000 btu heater.
You're going to have to actually look at the heater, copy down the model number, then reply here on Fixya. There are many 55's. 2 different technologies, different troubleshooting tactics.
