Started the engine and sat at idle for 5 minutes. Started off down the lake and running fine. Then engine just shut off like somebody flipped a switch. Got the boat home and started troubleshooting. Turns over fine. Won’t start with starting fluid in carb so not fuel related. I have power to both positive and negative sides of coil which I know on a points distributor means open circuit. With a test light bright light on either side of coil but dim light in middle where coil wire attaches. With a spark tester no power from coil to distributor. New coil same result. I’m thinking Thunderbolt iv electronic ignition module has died. Does anybody see something I’m missing or have any troubleshooting advice on which way to go
