I was cruizing full throttle

I was cruizing full throttle with my 60 horse evinrude when the hot light came on. I slowly throttled back down and found that the engine was running rough then finally died and would not restart.next day I put the water to it and tried to start it in the back yard and it would crank and not run till you let go of the key and then it would run but only for a min then die.It has good compression on all 3 at an average of 145 per.cyl.I am thinking ignition switch.but baffled by the hot light.

" Dan;It's a 1970/60hp with battery CD ignition,which was never very good,how many wires got cooked when you ran it hot?Check the purple wire for 12vdc with key on and when cranking.You MUST have a GOOD ground from the electronic bracket to the engine block,if in doubt run another ground wire.Just remember A 33year old motor is NOT worth the price of a new power/pulse pack as they cost $312.80! Zeke ps Be very cautious of aftermarket/brandX parts! "
