Evening all, wondering if anyone on here has any first hand knowledge of these motors?

late 70s, early 80s 2 stroke outboard, manufactured by yamaha but later sold as mariner.

Shared block/platform and lots of posts on the internet suggesting a simple method of upgrading from the 10 to 15 (ish, obviously) hp. Can't find anything definitive, though. Some places saying only a carb swap, some saying its just adjusting the stops on the reed valves. Online part numbers are not particularly helpful unfortunately so far, that I can see, though I could be looking in the wrong places.

Anyone know what the real differences are?

Not interested in the pros and cons of making a conversion, just want to know what components provide the restriction on the 9.9

thanks in advance!
 
Had one in my garage all winter. You got the first two, the third is the exhaust and muffler. AFAIK that is not the only difference, but it is what tunes a 10 a 15
