My 1970 merc 7.5 would not start today. I replaced the coil units with a used one I had and it fired right up but will only run for about 1 min or less and quits.. It will start right up but continues to quit. I pumped the fuel bulb but nothing changed. Is it possible the coil unit is causing this? One of the coils is loose. Thanks Greg

That don't sound like a coil. Have you disconnected the kill button they will short some times
