Battery drain part two

As from yesterdays post(dont know how to insert a link on here) it seems that the CDI/ECU is draining my battery. I did insert a cut off switch guessing that this was the problem and i was right.
The problem is every time i disconnect the power from the ECU the engine wont start and i then have to fanny about unplugging and plugging back in the conectors on the ECU to get the engine to start.
Should my ECU be using power all the time. Why does it need re-booting to get the engine started.
And is it buggered even though when the engine is running it's all fine and dandy.
Thanks. Brad.

Hi brad

does your ignition switch disconnect the feed wire (white if I remember) from both the brown & the grey
