1984 115 hp evinrude

I think my boat is upset with me. I bought a new house and have not taken the boat out fishing for 6 weeks. Last weekend I went out on the lake and tried to start the engine and it kept stalling after releasing the electric choke. It would start every time I tried but stalled each time I released the choke. This motor has been extremely reliable ever since it was totally rebuilt 4 years ago. I just did a complete tune up on it in may of this year. HELP PLEASE.
