I have a 70 HP Evinrude outboard on the back of 24' pontoon boat. The engine starts and runs flawlessly. However, if I run it at full throttle for 10 or fifteen minutes the engine dies. I tested the engine and the reason it dies is because there is no spark. If I let it sit for a while the engine starts again and runs but dies if run at full throttle for a similar length of time. I am guessing that some component is heating up and shutting the ignition down, but I have not idea which component it is. The engine feels cool and is definetly not overheating. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Jessie
