97 Force 40hp #oe228953. The switch box wire to coil reads 13.5 volts when unplugged from coil but reads 4 volts when plugged to coil harness. This is with ignition switch off,kill wire unplugged and stator unplugged. I have a 10 amp draw on battery because of this. Doesn't matter which coil is plugged in I get the same reading. My question #1 is the tan switch box wire supposed to be hot with ignition off? The engine runs smooth but will not turn over 2000 rpms also the stator ohms at 685 which seems to be in spec. Is my switch box bad?

I found the problem after buying the online manual from Seloc. Ignition wiring diagram showed me that someone had plugged the white trigger wire to the grey ignition switch wire and the white coil feed wire to the grey switch box wire....after changing those back everything checked out right.....thx Seloc.
