    Usually if it just "shuts off" it's ignition related related to the electrical.
    Check fuses.

        Didn't get a chance to pull the tank today to investigate.
        Fuses however, are fine.

        I'm guessing it's a coil. 1 looks newer, 1 looks very corroded.
        Will also look at various wiring.
        Will be using a multimeter....
        With a fully charged battery, what should the coils read?

            It would still run with one coil.

                Go start your bike and unplug one coil at the harness and see what happens.

                I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

                    Replace them anyway. They are old, and they do fail with age.
