1975 MK111, just had the bike re-wired. This is what it has on it AMALpremier carbs, good spark plugs, the wire from the pick up plate on the BOYER is good. Micro DIGITAL BOYER I put on in 1993, the bike had 11,500 miles on it then now it has about 82,000 miles on it, I have gone through a few. Speedo drives.. good battery .. The bite starts right up sounds good runs good but the ignition cuts out. There was still power going through the bike. The ignition light is on, it will restart after a while.The guy that wired, the bike
moved the BOYER box up between the coils, it sits inside a stainless steel box that I had made. The box was on the down tubes now it’s up above the engine, BETWEEN THE COILS
Is the engine cut out possibly caused by overheating and old age in the ignition box? The bike has been very reliable to this point. I have a new micro power ignition, that I can put in if no one has a better idea.

Thanks, UR
 
Check the primary and secondary resistances of the coils, the coils also can overheat and stop sparking. Also check the coil case as the clamps distort the cases and create internal shorts.
