Default Evinrude Fuel Problem Guestion

I came across a 1988 Evinrude 70 hp that wont stay running. I know its
a fuel problem because you can sputter out and turn around and go, by
pushing the choke in and out and when you get down on it it will run
fine by holding the choke in. The problem is that I dont want to
replace anything I dont have to so if anyone has any suggestions I
would appriciate it. The motor had a VRO but someone bypassed it and
put a regular fuel pump on it.
Thanks

Carbs need a serious cleaning or rebuild.
