Yep - sounds like - not the stator and the trigger is a single bobbin, so only leaves the box - bummer - it's kinda rare that the switchbox goes on that particular ignition, very well built/durable, so don't be surprised if Merc want 200-300 bucks for a new one...

A used one could last you almost forever if you can find one - ebay maybe...
