1969 18 hp evinrude 2stroke

Some simple maintenance is requred.----These motors have a history of bad / cracked coils.---So pull the flywheel off with the proper puller ( 3 bolts ) and inspect.-----It will likely have 2 bad coils or 2 new ones.----See this all the time.
 
Those old Evinrudes will run forever if you maintain them and run them a lot. Agree with all of the above, especially getting the repair manual and checking for cracked coils. Once running, I highly recommend that you decarb the engine with Sea Foam or similar. That will often times make them run like new.
