US Marine Force 1258V6A 1986

Purchased used 1986 VIP Bass Boat with Force 125 outboard. She started right up one and ran her in neutral for a few minutes. Moved throttle FWD and AFT and the prop did not turn. Figured out the US Marine Throttle "engage" button. Never able to start her again. New plugs, new cranking battery, plenty of fuel in tank, removed fuel hose and squeezed bulb and fuel came out, carbs looked pristine (just removed bowl to see if there was gunk.) Guy I purchased from said she ran fine and even had it serviced prior to selling. He did provide a spare throttle/cables. The one installed looks older. Could it be an interlock?
