    Who makes this carb on 2005 Yamaha Outboard

    I went to work on the 2005 Yamaha 8 h.p. engine today. Pulled, disassembled and cleaned the carb. The carb didn't have a name on it. I'm used to seeing Keihin, Mikuni, Walbro, Tillotson etc. but this carb just had three initials on it. Can't remember what they were BKV or something like...

    I just bought a 2004 Yamaha 20C twenty h.p. outboard. I noticed that the specifications for the 25C is exactly the same but 5 h.p. more. Every aspect is identical from displacement to engine dimensions. Maximum rpm is also the same. My question is, where's the increase in power coming from...
