Parts and manual 75 hp McCullouch

"I have a Sears-Roebuck Ted Wi

"I have a Sears-Roebuck Ted Williams 7.5 outboard.
Model 574.59950. Other info includes Simpson Sears Canada. I went to one site and the they said it was a 1969 McCulloch built for sears.
I have no spark, coils ohm out ok, cleaned points. I think the condensers may be bad. I got a good kick with ohm meter but charge bled off very quickly, 1/2 to 1 second. Is ther a better way to check condenser? The part number on the condenser is 80167 McCulloch Corp. Cannot locate this item. Was told by NAPA it was discontinued.
Any help on year and make confirmation and condenser replacement or aftermarket substitution will be appreciated.
Thanks
Ken Black"
