check the wiring to the coil, it sounds like its losing its primary voltage. Either the ignition switch wont stay in the "run" position, or the coil is wiring is faulty.

Losing voltage somewhere. Yup i agree , looks like a problem with wiring to coil or bad coil
check voltage at the coil while cranking and when it dies, does the voltage cut out when the motor dies?
