evinrude won't stop runnin

[g-reg]

i replaced my ignition switch due to the motor not stopping when the switch is turned to the off position. the only way to stop it was to hit the kill switch. after replacing the switch the motor runs but will not stop again. however the kill switch isn't functioning properly either. now the only way to kill it is to choke it to death, no pun intended, ha ha. what possibly could be the problem. both switches are 3 position w/ push choke. i believe it is hooked up the same as it was origionally.

Oh sure, first you all have to tell us how great the E-tec is and now we have to hear about the Evinrude that won't die. Go figure. Ya really know how to hurt a Merc Man. I think you would have more responses in the Evinrude forum. Of course there are those that go both ways here.

A black/yellow wire is connected from each of the powerpacks to the main electrical conector at the engine. From that connector, those two black/yellow wires are reduced/combined ionto one black/yel;low wire which is connected to the raised "M" terminal of the ignition switch.
