Need help locating a factory service manual for j70tlcrd

[FiBerOpTiK]

Hi guys,
My dad just gave me his old 1984 Johnson 70 HP after having some issues with it and purchasing a new one. This thing has low compression on the top cylinder and doesnt run really at all in the water other than an idle. More than likely is going to need new rings, etc. I am going to attempt to rebuild this thing since I got it for free. Iv'e rebuilt a couple smaller 9.9's but figure I might as well give this one a go. Its pretty much the same thing just bigger, and with more electronics.
Does anyone have a place, ebay, or wherever, that I can purchase a factory OMC manual for this particular model? I have the clymer but that manual covers dozens of different model motors and its not really specific enough for what I want.
Thank you

But may be worth looking at the Seloc manual on the Boatinfo website

Thanks guys. I just checked the Ken Cook manual and I can get it for a decent price on ebay used. The problem is it covers all 1984 models from 2 HP to V4 models. Will this be more in depth than the clymer since it covers so many different models?

That is the way the factory published the service manual for a few years.------Will be the right thing for you.
