Default 98 300 xplorer service manual.

Hey guys,
I've got two 300 xplorers and one 400
I just brought back one 300 back from the dead, and had a great time doing it, but I got ahead of myself and now, with a compression of 40psi realize it's time for the top end. It had 120psi until the oil tube fell out of the carb.
So, it's been awhile since I've rebuild an engine and not a two stroke.
So some reading needs to be done. Any ideas who has an online service manual??
Thanks in advance

OPT,
Thank you sir. For some reason I knew you'd be the one to go to.
One question, it's common sense I'm sure, the jug should be bored and honed prior to ordering a new piston kit?

Always measure the cylinder to what over size is needed to clean up the bore. DON'T bore the cylinder until you have the piston in hand so you can get an actual measurement as pistons can vary a little.If you can afford it get a Wiseco forged piston. Will last a lot longer than the cheap cast piston kits offered on ebay and elsewhere.
