    Question for the experts

    looking at a boat with a Merc 150 and it apparently has issues. Owners says it starts and idols fine but the second you give it some throttle it dies. I am assuming that it’s a “accelerator pump” issue but I don’t know shit about OB motors. Thoughts from the pros??
