Choke Solenoid OMC 1994 Wiring

[This thread has been moved to SMALL BOAT ELETRICAL for discussion of the electrical wiring.--jimh]
[My1994 Evinrude 200-HP engine] always had a hard time starting using the choke. I replaced the valve and gaskets on the choke solenoid. I also checked [resistance]. I gave [the solenoid] 12-Volts to see how the solenoid works. It all checks out.
[Should there] be 12-Volts on the violet wire with the key pushed in and not turned?
Or must you push and turn the key to receive 12-Volts?
Sometime I hear a beep and sometimes I don't hear a beep when I turn the key.
BACKGROUND:In the process of cleaning everything on the engine and winterizing my 1994 21 Outrage, I have replaced all the floats and gaskets in the carburetors of the 1994 Evinrude 200. I removed the throttle body and cleaned and replaced all the gaskets too.
If I manually turn the valve [on the solenoid assembly the engine] starts without a problem.
[The 1994 Evinrude 200-HP engine] began to spit and cough and die toward the end of the season during idle. I decided to rebuild all the carburetors.
Strangely, if you raised the idle via throttle, [the engine runs] fine, [the boat] goes up to 40-MPH without a hiccup.
I checked the [peak pressure] on all the cylinders and they were all between 110 to 114-PSI.
