I had my boat out yesterday and my kicker motor wouldn't fire up so I had to do some trolling with my main motor. After trolling with it the day before for at least an hour just fine and yesterday for 30-45 minutes it all of a sudden sputtered a little and died. It fired right back up so I put it back in gear and it went another minute or so before dying again. I opened it up to WOT and it jumped right up on plane and ran fine and then we tried trolling a little more and got 5 minutes or so of trolling in before it died again and we called it a day. Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you

Compression test, spark test, then New plugs...then adjust idle mixture if possible...if not set idle via link and synch...

Compression is 115 on all 3 cylinders. Good strong spark jumping 3/8 gap. Plugs have less than 5 hrs on them. Where do I find instructions for link and synk?
