Retired: dammit, I was hoping he link would work. I’ll post the main link and maybe you could navigate through it like I did to find my motor. It seems like a huge website that lists damn near every mercury motor ever made. Hopefully it works

https://www.mercurymarine.com/en/us/par ... ts-catalog

I used this link and hit “launch parts catalog” and then I hit a few more options relating to my engine and they are as follows

AFTER LAUNCHING CATALOG:
Selected: outboard
Selected: 2 stroke carb
Selected: 70, 700 (3 CYL.)
Selected: Archive 75508 PDF

That seems like a pretty decent parts manual and I think it works for my engine too? Anyways thanks for all your help/input.

Yeah, it looks like it'll work as a parts manual....one of the biggest problems I had was in the "tune up" department....since the throttle linkage also controls the timing and the final adjustment has to be done under load in reverse and the previous owner/owners had fingered everything in there trying to tune it like any other motor, I'm not sure I could have done it without a step by step guide...good luck.
