3.     Carburetor HS 279 (valve jet)
A modified version of the standard carburetor
4223 120 0601 (which is also contained in
replacement carburetor 4223 120 0650) is now
used to further optimize emission levels.
The former valve jet 4223 121 5602 (0.73) is
replaced by version 4223 121 5603 (0.75).
The carburetor type designation is consequently
changed from HS 279 C to HS 279 D.
