That VOES is there for a reason. If you mess with it, your gas mileage will decrease a good bit and you might lug the motor here and there. Also, was your motor warmed up when you made that video? If it was, you're idling too slow.
Thanks Tar. It was merely a theory about seeing if we could rule out if my voes was actually working correct not as a permanent thing, I should of clarified. As well as getting a vacuum gauge in there to see if the big cam actually pulls enough vacuum. But he's going to finish things up once I reseal the boxes again, hoping I didn't warp things at this point. As they were super tight when I tore it apart.
As far as idle. Yeah maybe a bit low, but I still had the open vacuum leak and I was registering oil pressure. Bike was warm. And has about 7# of pressure on the gauge. Don't have a tach so I go a bit higher than I see oil pressure. I'll make sure it's a bit higher after this next fix.
