I've read several different threads on this and they're all a bit different. I really don't want to over do it on a brand new saw.
One suggests cutting out the inner 90 degree diverter with machinery.
Another says just remove the inner diverter plate and throw it away (which sounds a lot easier if it accomplishes the same thing)
One says to cut a hole in a flat spot above the inner pipe (and shows a big hole).
others have suggested 3/8 or 1/2 holes in that area. One showed a couple tiny holes there.
The only technically tested mod seemed to suggest cutting out the inner diverter and removing a black plastic tab under the air filter.
All I know for sure is that I want to keep the screen on to keep it clean in there and meet fire arrester concerns.
It's a bit confusing, but..................
Can someone tell me their setup that they really like and sizably improves performance.
