Reddy Heater Won't Fire

I was recently given a 55000 btu Kerosene Reddy Heater because My buddy couldn't get it to work. I have fuel blowing all over the place when I plug it in but the spark is intermittent. I got it working once by tapping on the black box mounted under the fan motor. I'm assuming this is the ignition control.
What do you guys think?? Is this an expensive fix??
Thanks!

score a new "oil burner transformer" from a junked oil furnace, they litter scrapyards and the back of heating places, otherwise the manufacturer will probably "sell" you a new transformer
