My approx 1980 model Mariner 80hp has burned 3 trigger coils in two weeks. Each one lasting a couple of seconds and resulting in no spark to cylinders 3 and 4. I have replaced the rectfier/regulator which was burned and identified a short circuit which I thought was the cause of the coil burns but with no luck. What is causing the coils to burn?
