New filter: But... is it bigger (more area) or just better at blocking (blocks faster)?
Sorry, no more info at the present time.

The problem I had (and I think Tim also) wasn't with the filter cover. It was simply that the filter just rapidly became impacted with fines. A new filter system with a larger housing, cover, and effective pre-filter would be a real good thing on these saws. They have a great engine design.
I have the new cover on mine. It is available in grey for the Makitas.

Where do you get it?
Edge & Engine can probably get it. I got mine from another member here.
Strange, although I was very skeptical about the filter when I fist saw it, I have not had a single issue with mine yet. I actually have the old style cover w/o the screen and I've added extra holes to it to help it breath. I wonder if it's the type of wood or the chains? I've done almost all of my cutting in green oak using sharp square ground chisel chain.
Regardless, I will update the filter/cover when the redesign is released.
I. I think a 7900 with some sort of air injection filtration would be a really fantastic saw.
Hey TreeSlingr, how about some pics of that milling you've gotten done?
Should have the porting done tommorow, I'll see what I can do. Coaching basketball too, so my shop time is limited.
Jasha .........If your idea works better than most others modded 7900's there are going to be plenty wanting to copy........
