I replaced the igniter and it does the same thing, starts, trys to run then dies. I decided to ohm out the 12volt wire to the positive terminal on the coil. That wire with the key off ohms out 65 ohms. This wire I believe should be open to ground and not 65 ohms. I took the resistance reading with the negative terminal on my battery disconnected. I took a voltage reading for this wire with the key on and there is 11.54 volts there. The voltage at the battery is right at 12 volts. I think the problem is in the wire from the ignition switch to the positive side of the coil. I will try to run a new wire and see if that fixes the problem.
