Please describe why it wouldn't start...it might be something simple.
For example:
Is the battery ok?
Did the motor crank over with the key, or was it completely dead?
Safety lanyard attached?
Fuel in the tank, bulb pumped up?
Did it pop, fart or anyhthing?
Did it smell like raw fuel (flooded)?
Did you use the choke?
Those old outboards are kind of picky and many have a "ritual" that must be followed exactly. It might pay to contact the PO and just ask especially since you know it ran before.
Hope this helps.
