Check your Iginition module. I just put my old one in and connected the shut off leads together and the engine stayed running. I couldn't get it into base timing mode cuz my module is defective in that area, but it did stay running. O riginally I replaced my ignition module because it was over heating and shutting the engine down in the water leaving me stranded until it cooled down and then it would run, So I'm going to try another one and see what happens. My main concern then will be, Why or what would be causing the module to heat up and short out.
Hope this helps
