"My 1978 Johnson 15HP outboard

"My 1978 Johnson 15HP outboard starts great, idles great and until yesterday ran great. It shifts into gear and idles in gear fine, but when I accelerate it stalls out. It starts right up after stalling. I've tried to squeeze the bulb when it starts to stall but it still stalls. I just bought it and the previous owner said it had been sitting for a couple of months. It ran fine for an hour before the problem."
