Default help! 98 evinrude 150 FICHT will not start

help guys if you can! I have a 98 150 evinrude ficht that left me limping home friday night.I ran about 15 miles before dark all ok. after diner I left for home in the dark using radar.I went about 4 miles at say 10knts and one of the engines just shuts off??? we looked at it and we thought it might be fuel.The gas gauge for that motor does not read true.I limped on the other motor to a fuel dock and tied up for the night.The next morning filled up the bad motors tanks and it took only 38 gallons to fill 100 gallon tank..so, its not out of gas.it still wont start. saturday morning I drive back to my place and change both fuel filters to racor's with see through bowls in bottom..still wont start. took rngine cowling off and removed the covering of the fuse box.checked a bunch of red 10 amp fuses..all were fine. The bad motor cranks and wont kick over..have checked fuel and what I can. p.s. I ordered the software from evinrude yesterday for my laptop/windows....anyone with any previous experience with it?thanks, doug-----world cat 266sc/twin evinrude 150 ficht 1967 boston whaler 17ft restored in 2001 2006 Ford F350 diesel dually supercab, black black and more black.
