I have a 1966 Evinrude 9.5 Sportwin that I recently acquired attached to a 14' semi-v aluminum boat. According to the original owner the motor was gone through and running 3 years ago but hasn't been ran since. I tried to crank the motor today with and without the choke on and got nothing. I bought a new fuel tank and fuel line assembly made by Attwood from Walmart prior to trying to crank the motor. I have fresh NON-ethanol gas in the fuel tank and the proper amount of oil.

This is my first boat so I know absolutely nothing about boat motors. Please share some insight if possible on what I may be doing wrong or have failed to do and things that I can check for to get my motor running.

How do I know when the tiller handle is in the start position? The person who had the motor before me painted the whole motor black so there are no distinguishable markings on the handle for start, idle, fast, slow, etc.
