Have you tried it with the plugs in but the wire disconnected and grounded to the block? Im curious if its just the compression or if its something else in the ignition eating all of your current. I have a Force 150 too, so we can solve this together.

By grounded to the block, i just meant to make sure the pluq wires were touching the block. Some ignitions fry themselves if they are cranked with the plug wires disconnected without giving them a path to ground through the block.
