A flow test could be done by pouring a measured amount of hot oil thru each and timing each. Thoughts? Thanks! Jack

This post from my now missing Hawk actually shows a larger filter canister that can be used to replace the screened canister (the much larger one is the filter) and shows the stainless steel mesh filter element.

It is not a very fine mesh, so it will still not filter fine particles, but it will catch things a bit smaller than the screen will and has a much larger area.
The catch is you have to be willing to deal with finding it and then ordering it through Taobao.
Personally, I would save your time and money and stick with the screen. The screen and oil spinner method has been used by Honda for decades on small engines, and is still being used on their 125cc bikes like the Grom. The spinner takes care of fine metallic particles, the screen protects the oil pump from larger metal particles, and the oil suspends the organic stuff. Just do regular oil changes and that motor will last quite a long time.
