Check all the wire connections. And the points...they should be clean and gapped correctly. If no one here turns up the right answer, surf over to the Ask A Member board at http://www.aomci.org where they do nothing but antique iron.

If it is a Gale built motor go to The library and look for a service manual for the Similar Evinrude/Johnson motors.
The basic procedures and assemblies from most any similar year should be close.But if you get us the model number off the mounting bracket we can figure the year.
I believe Gale stopped building motors about 63.
