Is there somewhere I can find a method for adjusting Gas and Shift Cables on my Chrysler 70HP 707HE Outboard?

There is a "link and sync" post that should cover what your looking for.

I got them adjusted but had to add a return spring to the distributor/throttle.

Sounds like the throttle pre-load needs to be set.
The connector on the end of the throttle cable needs a tiny bit of back tension.
They also have 2 style connectors. One is straight with no internal spring and the other has a preload spring built in.

Mine has the preloaded spring but added more that enough preloaded back tension and still needed the added spring. Something in either loose or dirty and not allowing the throttle to return properly.
