You said this is a 70ish motor. Depending on the manufacturer it could have a set of points and condenser under the starter pully. Remember outboards and I/O's did not have to meet EPA emmission standards untill recently so old technology such as points were still used. The points could be dirty and need at a minimum a little cleaning.

My 89 5 liter I/O still has points and a condenser.

Good Luck
