CD box blown?

is there a way i can check if my CD box is blown? comming out of it there were 2 wires burnt to a crisp, so brittle they fell apart when i touched them

i herd these box's were expensive to replace so im hope to god thats not it!!!
its 69 johnson outboat hydo electric V115

 

what is a cd box ?remember I am old!

 

the power pack..

 

do you mean coil ?and do the 2 wires go to spark plugs? /

 

the power pack, i dont how else to describe it?

heres a pic?
its the big black thing at the back...

 

I would say that is a coil . but by looking at the wires, I see tape, look at the splices and see if they are corroded, and clean off that buss barr. you might get off cheap. I really dont know what the blue wire is or the 2 black ( resistors)maybe, but do note the buss barr with some corosion,,,,were all the screws are at , get some PBgast oil at the parts store ,..good stuff. take them off one at a time and clean them , and tell me what happens,,,good luck if none of this helps go to the local lawn mower shop or marina if you have, and get a mechanics opinion, shouldent charge nothing for that!

 

the 2 blue wires are the ones which i replaced, previous they were brittle and fell apart

 

well did you fix it?

 

yes, my MSD box is up and running, the motor feels like its supercharged! lol

 

im very close
