70 Johnson problem

[Stinky_Hooker]

I am trying to get some ideas for my buddys 70 Johnson. It is a 96 model and is cutting off when up to speed. It runs great and doesnt hesitate a bit till you get up and oing good and then it just dies. Instantly. There is no hesitaion or bogging down or anything. It will crank back up and run great again for a minute till it does the same thing again.

What yall think? Sounds electrical to me...maybe a faulty kill switch? It has one of those kill switches built into the ignition and it doesnt work when u pull the clip so I installed a separate one. We left the clip in the old one just in case it decided to start working again.
