If the coils are old, they may fail under load when they get warm, even though you have spark now. Jim Judkins has coils and condensers for Scintillas. You should also replace the top and bottom crank seals. Old Mercs .com has them. You will have to remove the magnet to get at the top seal. Will need a new impeller and 105 Lubriplate in the gear case. Probably should replace the carb float which is probably worn out cork. Good luck. I have 3 KF7s and they are great running motors. Other advice can be found over at John’s Old Mercury site. Mnay knowledgeable people there.
Good luck.
