    4cycle snowblower tuning gurus?

    I'm helping a friend refit his 80 gal DeVilbiss with a newly rebuilt Saylor Beale 705 compressor head. After all refit we'll have it inspected before running to assure proper assembly, wiring, and safety. He had it serviced last year with tank inspection and motor replacement. Motor is...
