Mercury 1984 150. When i put motor in gear,forward or reverse its dieing out. If i push in the enrichner while im shifting it will go but i have to continue to push in enrichner while running or it will die. Cant get above idle speed while doing this. It sounds like it not getting enough fuel. Does fuel pump sound right here or carbs.

Check the fuel filters or water separators first, then lines. Could be the carbs but check others first.
