    Default Twin bag extractor not filling one bag

    I have a 2 year old twin bag dust extractor from Hare and Forbes.
    Since new it has only filled one bag and the other about 1/6 . I have checked for obstructions any ideas ad to what might be causing this issue?

    You could try hot gluing a rounded strip of 3mm thick MDF across the entrance to the A-side of the Y junction?
    This might help deflect more dust into B?
    See green dot on image below.
