Subject:'83.5 westy starts, runs well, stalls, won't restart

My wife has pop-top envy, so we are starting to look at campers with less rust than my Van O'White. Hope to purchase in the next few months.
Test drove the 83.5 1.9 manual. Drove fairly well, but stalled when we returned from the test-dive and would not restart.
Is this a flooding issue? The nice lady who owns it mentioned something about pulling the fuel pump relay, cranking, then replacing the relay.
Not a deal-breaker if the price is right, just wondering if I am missing something.
