Still having the idling issue.
I replaced the plugs and cleaned out the fuel filter.
Starts on first try and will idle for a few minutes and then just slowly ramps down and dies.
I was able to keep it idling for about 5 minutes by adjusting choke in and out as it started bogging down.
It will run if I give it some juice but as soon as i pull the lever back it cuts out.

Bring it to a Yamaha certified mechanic bro. I had a similar problem with my 200 Johnson OceanRunner when I first got it and I fought with it for almost a year. Had a jackleg mechanic clean my carbs and didn't fix it. Brought it to a Evinrude mechanic and for $270, they properly cleaned and replaced gaskets and adjusted all the jets. Runs great now, no more dieing at idle or shifting from idle to forward or reverse like it always did.
Carbs have low idle/speed jets that need to be properly adjusted. Seems like that may be your problem. Does it die when shifting from idle to forward or reverse, or just at idle? Either way, could be the jets that need adjusting.
