I have a 1987 Yamaha 9.9SH. Im going to rebuild my carb, but I was wondering if anyone knows if the 15hp carb is different than the 9.9 other than jetting and main nozzle? I figure while its apart I may as well change that stuff out too, unless the actual carb itself has a bigger intake. I already have the 15hp reed cage for it.
 
This article may help. There are lots of them on Google, but most threads cover newer motors than yours. regards, richg99

Just did one, though it was a 2006 model.

The 9.9 and 15 are identical motors, even down to the exhaust system and ignition, with ONE exception. The reed valve, or more specifically the stoppers. I have a pic somewhere of the one I did, and the difference is obvious.

Double check your year model, it might be different...
