Check out the points too. They can probably be cleaned and adjusted. At the cost of a new OMC / BRP tune up kit, I’d probably just replace the points, condensers, and oiler wick. The coils ‘should’ be OK but I’ve seen some of them cracked in this vintage. Always a good idea to look for any pinching or chaffing of the plug wires too. Check the gearcase for water, of course. If there is any, a seal kit is a good idea. It’s a 5-bolt gearcase and pretty robust, but always best to keep water out. That usually does the trick on most of them. Others may have further recommendations.
