Motor cutting out

[Krazo]

Ive got a 94 Evinrude VE70TLETS.  Its been running fine this spring until yesterday.  Just this weekend we had fished all saturday and all sunday with no issues, until heading back to ramp.  start it up to head back to ramp and its cutting out as im throttling to go, like a fuel issue. it continues to cut out the whole way back.  at the courtesy dock it will rev high  RPM in neutral but when its in gear it wants to die.  as im putting boat on the trailer it would die out as im throttling to get it loaded all the way up.  ended up having the crank the boat on the trailer. 

fuel is new.  fuel filter was new last summer.  BUT carbs havnt been cleaned in a while and I dont recall when fuel lines were last replaced. im thinking its carbs or fuel lines.   

Any ideas?

If pushing the key in when it's falling on its face causes it to momentarily wake up and go....then it's a lean fuel issue.  

Hard to say without being able to check it out.  Several things can cause the symptoms you are describing.
