My 85 hp Force starts and idles great when cold, but once it gets warmed up it will start hard and actually require choking the engine to restart. once started again it misses at idle and will die unless you put it in fast idle. Compression is not stellar 125, 105 and 115 PSI. Put a can of Sea Foam through it but no change. Also what is the best maintenance manual to purchase Seloc or Clymer?

Repair or replace the fuel pump.
