Mercury outboard age?

[Lorenz725]

Hey everyone I got a 7.5 mercury s/n 3729292 I have looked online and cant seem to be able to match it. Does anyone know how old this motor is and what fittings I need to hook up the gas line? Thanks

Also this motor from what I have been told has not been started in 3 years. Any steps I should take before taking the first pull? Thanks

Thanks for that chrome dome I will go though the check list. Does anyone have any idea about the fuel line and gas tank? I need to get something ordered soon so i can get it running. Thanks
