Mower question, electronic ignition

My 12HP Techumseh Craftsman rider quit on me today. Fuel is getting to the carb, and starting spray doesn't help. I found the spark plug wire loose so reattached it but it didn't help. I checked the spark and it is extremely weak, almost non-existent. So I am guessing the ignition module.

Does my reasoning sound right? any other tests I should run?

Thanks
