I just swapped a 22 rifle for a '71 7.5. I'm also hooked up w antique OB forum and have gotten good info there. I know about the ignition issues and have blue spark at each plug (w conventional plug for testing) when cranked. I'll try squirt can prime(PO said plugs were dry after cranking) b4 stripping carb & pump. I'm retired mechanic & motorcyclist w 60 yrs of fiddling w them. Thanks,GJ

It will probably start right up if you get it some fuel.
