Who makes this carb on 2005 Yamaha Outboard

[dbs52a]

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 that. I did notice that the fuel pump which is attached to the carb is a Keihin. I'm assuming that the carb might also be made by Keihin.

Does anyone know who makes this carb? Here's a link to the carb parts diagram/list:

Is there a reason you need the name of the manufacture?
If you need parts for it then just order what you need from yamaha

Nope. No reason other than basic "knowledge". I like to know whether I'm dealing with Mikuni or Keihin or TK or whatever jets etc. After all, not all jets etc. are the same. Right?

Is there a problem with a person wanting to know who manufactures the carb on their outboard?

Not really. And I do not now the name of the manufacturer of that carb.
Is there a reason a person can not ask the question why the info is needed , just in case you were looking for the proper parts for the carb, as I do not think putting other parts in it would be a good idea.

Asking a question about a question about a question.......

Not much achievement in that is there? Thank you for your assistance just the same.

I've come to the conclusion that it's probably a Keihin carb because the fuel pump, which is labeled Keihin, is cast as part of the carb float bowl.

Most carbs I've worked on are clearly labeled by their manufacturer. This is my first exposure to this carb and it's obviously different.

Many of the small motor carbs are Keihin, but Yamaha has also used TK and Nikki carbs on their various models.
