While waiting on manual/parts,Ive been cleaning and looking Her over a lot.
Theres a vacuum port on Her intake manifold that's plugged, and a switch thing that has a hose not plugged into anything.
This hose..is it supposed to go from switch to the manifold? I'm guessing whoever installed this S@S carb left it unplugged... but what reason?

Vacuum Operated Electrical Switch.
It works with your timing.

As for the melting sensor plate it's a common problem when they get old.
Age and heat melted your sensor plate.

So leave as is (vacuum unplugged) or plug it back up?
Switch has one wire going up towards speedo,the other seems to be going to Her ignition control module,so nothings jacked with there..at least I don't think so.

Using the VOES depends on your ignition system. Some aftermarket systems do away with it, although the Crane I used still used it (many years ago now). If the VOES should be used, but is disconnected, the bike is likely to ride like a real b1tch - at least mine did. You will know all about it! As you're talking (or is that us?!) of changing to a new system to replace your sensor, then follow the instructions. They should tell you if you need to continue to use the VOES.
