Not even going to try.
I never worked for Yamaha (as a living like Boscoe) and don't have access to the documents Boscoe has with his years at Yamaha. His knowledge (and others) are way more than mine, that's how they made their living with literally years of experience specifically working on Yamaha's
I've worked on THREE Yamaha OUTBOARD engines my entire life, motorcycles (including Yamaha's) and everything else (cars, etc)over 42 years, self taught-NO schools. Yamaha motorcycles use alot of what the OB's do, FI, OHV's, water cooling, besides having a built in transmission(doesn't drop off like a LU- you have to split cases)
Just basic mechanical "hands on" knowledge. There's few things I can't fix once I get my hands on it. Over the net, somewhat more difficult as folks don't always give the whole story, something rigged wrong(that you won't know or ask about), etc. Motorcycles, Yamaha's specifically I'm MUCH more knowledgeable about...
Re you question about your carb, I've never seen two LS jets, especially on yours which is a larger engine (not like a 9.9). I do know most (95%) customers gas engines I fix are fuel related with jets clogged with varnish. That's why I mentioned clean all jets and you must see light thru them as varnish can hide on the sides. That's also why I push the RingFree, I know it works as I use it on machines with fuel issues.
BTW, the career I retired from (25 years), was Law Enforcement. Mechanic's was / is my hobby... And I'm still learning here re outboards
