Howdy, KPA.<br /><br />That sure sounds like a heat related electronic failure.<br /><br />See what happens if you:<br /><br />Run her without the bonnet (cooler electronics).<br /><br />Apply heat to various parts of the ignition system with a hair dryer when she is at idle. If heating a part (probably the powerpack) causes her to die, Viola!<br /><br />Good luck.

Thanks JB<br />I have replaced the cdi module , this seems to have cured my shutdown problem but in the process the coil for #1 cyl failed , I will replace tomorrow and hope for the best. I sure seem to be fighting electrical problems with this thing last year it was a shift switch, normal for these beasts?? 96 evinrude 150<br /><br />kpa
