1997 Force 120 manual?

[JamesGY]

Where can I get a manual for my engine so that I can tune it up myself. <br /><br />Also, right now the engine starts up fine and runs fine. But, say I go about 30MPH and quickly stop the boat and put it in neutral, it sometimes dies. What could this be? I bought it used and the origianl owner told me that it just needs a tune-up. You think there's anything else wrong with it?

The engine is running lean @ low speed. Open the low speed jets 1/16 of a turn...this should cure the problem.<br /><br />TMD

Thanks for the help TMD. Where are the jets located? Also, are they labeled (I don't want to adjust the wrong ones and screw enerything up)? <br />I have some experience (nitro RC cars) with adjusting the fuel mix. It does sound a little lean on the low end.

Here is another link for a manual. I have had a clymer for my chrysler and dont much care for it. Maybe the clymer force manuals are better. Maybe someone else will chime in on which is better.

Hello Chris,
I just bought a 1997 Maxum 1700 with 120 Force Outboard. Would you
please give me a copy of the Manual? I really appreciate your
kindness.
