Re: Air Compressor Intake

[Tom <myttom@domain.elided>]

Tom,
    I would look into putting a large truck canister type air filter on it.
That way it could handle the volume and not interfere with the carb's
filter.  I don't think the regular air filter could efficiently clean that
volume of air.
Just my 2 cents worth.
