You have created a huge air leak in you intake system. Plug the hose, or better yet the tube at the base of the carburetor. Set your idle accordingly. Attach the hose to a shielded PCV valve in the other cover. The hose from the breather would go to the base of the air cleaner assembly. You are forcing the engine to run extreemly lean and can possibly damage the internals such as a piston or valve.
