1977 Evinrude with solid state magneto.

Has anyone noticed a solid state thermal problem with these mid 70s twins. Everything runs along beautifully and then the thing cuts out and there's no restarting it. No spark. the ignition is now dead. After it all cools down, it will once again start and run. I suspect some of the solid state stuff becomes overheated and cuts out when hot. Has anybody noticed this behavior?
