switchbox, becomes a likely suspect for killing it.

I bought a 6 hp marina out board used .wen I got it wont start ,I
traced the problem to the stator assembly .I got a new one and it burnt
it out in 3 hours of running and about 10 starts and shutdowns. any one
knows what would cause that and how to fix it ?
