.... If I'm understanding this rightly you're sucking on the line that goes to the pair system, when you should be blowing...this,in order to mimmic air flow....
I have the flatbar mounted on the bellhousing beads attached and am hydrating before I drill the crossmember for mounting the servo cable.
N.B. Read my tip in this picture's caption/text: http://www.st-riders.net/coppermine/displayimage.php?album=33&pid=833#top_display_media
... Did the arm you installed on the bellhousing hit the tank until you bent it slightly away?
Short answer: no. There should be no interference in the CC's operation with this install method.
.... I remember you referring to putting in a bend somewhere, it was probably the bracket for the servo cable to better align a straight pull to the bellhousing.
Without having to remove the lever...I also put a couple of bends in the attached lever so I could remove the throttle cable swagged end from its recess, if necessary (not yet, ha).
do you think it matters my vac canister is in the right front pocket ...?
I saw the picture of that vac container, it still worked as I remember. It also seemed smaller than the volume of my vac container. I think my system vac isn't able to produce meaningful vacuum for use or storage.I know of one STrider who used a sealed tin container of some kind (coffee or cookies..?) for his vacuum reservoir only to soon find it crushed by the vacuum generated.

My friend Jim Neagle documented his repair to return his servo to function...
My arm went straight down 1.25" from the bellhousing.
- resistance, binding, or friction somewhere in the ST's throttle control system (handlebar grip housing, cables' tension or return spring or sleeve, carbs' linkage). How much effort does it take to roll the throttle on? When released does it return smoothly/easily to the idle stop?
- vacuum leak. Unplug the hose from the check valve and apply vacuum to this hose (that leads, is connected, to the servo and reservoir) with a MityVac, or other tool with a gage. Wait and watch the gage. If it bleeds off you've got a vacuum leak. Until you do this you can't claim you don't have a leak.
- defective servo. There are a few cases that I know of where the servo vacuum solenoid started to bind, but only on old, hard used ones. My friend Jim Neagle documented his repair to return his servo to function (I'll look for it if asked). But I doubt that's your problem.
Something's missing...

The 1.25" figure is the distance measured from the center of the bellcrank to the hole/attachment point for the AudioVox pull cable (the ball cage piece). The arm should be mounted on an angle as mentioned in the text/caption for the install picture (http://www.st-riders.net/coppermine/displayimage.php?album=33&pid=813#top_display_media) and shown in the next (http://www.st-riders.net/coppermine/displayimage.php?album=33&pid=814#top_display_media), NOT straight down. At about the 7:30 o'clock position.
Just to be clear. The CC has to have that range of movement to operate correctly, IMHO.
John
The range is good.
Not to beat a dead horse here but... you've reduced the range by half. On mine, that first 30° of rotation are just getting the throttle to the middle of its range. On yours you may be just reaching it and can't rotate any further. Did you follow my install tip... where was the end of your lever with the throttle set wide open?
This may not even be your big problem but it's an important part of the mechanical install.
Have a look at the repair thread I posted. Maybe you should look at a sticking solenoid in the servo...
