How many amps?

i've been searching for info on kill switches, and i think i'm going to be using one to cut power to the coil. from the diagrams i've seen posted, it's a pink wire i'm going to be splicing the switch and fuse into. my question is, how many amps run through this line? the switch i have is rated for a max amperage of 20, will this be enough, it sounds pretty low to me. and for the fuse in the line, what amount of amps should that be able to handle? thanks in advance.

It is nowhere near 20 amps, thats plenty. A garden variety 5 amp toggle switch should be fine with a 5 amp fuse.
