2008 outboard

[thompson]

I bought a 2008 pontoon with 50 hp honda 4 stroke i went to fire it up and it would not start then it would start but wont stay running. now it will stay running at a idle but as soon as i try to throttle it up it stalls every time.
Dose anyone have a suggestion on what could be going on.

Take a fuel sample and tell us how much water you have in that fuel.
