Default Power valve mystery

Talking about EC300, 2009.

When I got the bike, the PV left hand vent (?) hose had been plugged and the right hose was breathing directly into the atmosphere.

Later I installed a 10 mm spacer between the engine and LH cover, which clearly improved low end torque.

Now I unplugged and re-plugged the LH hose, and found that plugging has a significant effect on low end grunt!

Having dismantled the PV parts a couple of times, I really cannot figure out why plugging the hose or having the spacer should have any effect on PV operation.

Does anyone have informed opinions?

The left power valve hose is a drain.
It is ziptied closed for the EU requirements.

The hose fitting on the left has a calibrated orifice.
The fitting is interchangeable with the right side transmission vent.

I'm thinking the fittings may be swapped.
Over venting the left power valve chamber.

Large fitting on the right hand side to vent the gearbox
