Noo.. It should be completely CLOSED when not running. You checked manual function by moving it by hand(disconnected) correct? This only verifies nothing is binding or sticking up top. You need to run the bike to check the governer function. Leave the right side cover off and replace the pipe. Run the bike, the actuator should stay on or very close to the stop bolt at idle, and move through its range quickly as revs increase until hitting the fully open position. If not, there is a problem with the governer or linkage. First and easy check is make sure that the link rod does not contact the edge of the hole in the primary cover, jamming it.
