My idea in order
1) Stator, that is likely what the "fire" was Merc ran a much hotter ignition back then that OMC
2) bad Coil. Get welding gloves and removed on plug wire at a time until you find the bad coil
2) Bad primer bulb or hose Run it on a separate remote tank and get some fresh non Korn gas
I was reading the string wondering if anyone was going to say bad bulb. They will feel like they are full, but a small pinhole or crack will kill your power.
