mariner 90hp not firing 1994

As the title suggests my 1994 mariner 90hp (3 cylinder) outboard motor is not starting,i was out on the water and she was running an absolute dream then went to take my mate kneee boarding and she wouldnt start, the starter is turing the crank fine.First thing i done was change the plugs i then checked for a spark and to me seems kind of weak and is intermiting.I traced out most of the wiring and all seem well accept from the rectangular shaped black "thing" which sits tight to the cdi which has a white,black and green wire coming out one side and a blue coming out the other(what is this)????(connects to the stator.It seems that something may have blown inside as the "rubbery sort of stuff".I have managed to get a hold of one of these but it has an extra wire.it has a green with white line black and white with green line, other end has a blue and a blue with white line.I got this from a place called key parts and gave them s/n and sent me this and assure me its the right part.Any help would be great.


cheers James
