Default RE: Ignition Module Failure

Put the replacement igntion on, (didn't remove the old one). I checked the old ignition first (spark) along with load testing the battery. Went to flipping the prop and nothing. I'm like "what is going on here". I checked the battery again and it's at zero volts. I flip my ignition cutoff switch back and forth and nothing. I have a sevo hooked to a toggle switch that kills the igntion battery's power. I usually run a choke servo, but it was hard to fit in this plane. I left the switch in the "on" position and went into the EPA on that channel. I increased it and right away had voltage. I was watching the meter while increasing the EPA. Strange that occured because you could hear the toggle switch "clicking" into the on postition. She fired up right after that. I warmed her up for a minute and shut it down. It would start on the first flip ten times in a row. Problem solved. Thanks guys for the help!
