Check all electrical connections on the engine and verify they are clean. I
would actually loosen all connections you can find, clean w/ a wire brush,
and reconnect. Of course you would do this one at a time.
Also make sure your battery connections are good and tight. Hand tight is
usually not enough. Take a pair of pliers and tighten down.
If this does not solve it - chances are you have either a coil or stator
problem. Coils can fail when hot and then reconnect once they cool off
(expansion thing).

In open sea engine misfired on both cylinders simultanously a few
minutes, and then stoppet. Impossible to start after repeated attempts.
At last it fired on one cylinder and I was able to return to safety. Next
day it started and ran normally.
I do not want to go to sea until I have found out what caused the fault,
and100% sure it will not happen again.
What could it have been? CDI? Pulser coil? Moisture?
Anybody know this ignition failure pattern?
