Default 50 mercury stalling / hesitating 1973

I have a 1973 50 that runs great at idle but when I give it throttle it sputters and will die if not choked briefly after that it runs great (besides being a gas hog). I can smell fuel , and have replaced the fuel lines. I think the 4 cylinders have 2 carbs and this might be a fuel issue . Not sure where to start looking for the cause. a can of sea-foam seemed to help until yesterday and it was back. thanks in advance .
