Top:    Previous version                                            The previous throttle cable retainer 4203 182 2101

Blowing performance has been enhanced by
enlarging the diameter of the blower tube assembly
and modifying the nozzle. The control handles have
been adapted accordingly.
The larger diameter of the blower tube assembly
helps reduce air flow resistance. This, in turn, results
in a higher air throughput without any change in
engine power.

Extracted from the manufacturer's 2012 service catalogue. Most of these PDFs embed fonts with a shifted character map, so the text above was recovered rather than copied — read it as a faithful but imperfect transcription, and treat the page image above each block as the authority where the two disagree — the figures exist only there, because they are vector drawings that text extraction cannot keep.
