You need to run a balance line from the snorkel side of the air filter, back over to the gas converter. Because the snorkel is actually creating a positive air pressure (as opposed to your intakes original vacuum), when you back off the throttle the positive pressure is actually causing the gas converter to stop delivering. Any gas fitting workshop should be able to sort it for you if your not confident.

on the back of the converter there should be a plastic pipe, this is where you connect the tube.

u should only need the balance pipe if ur snorkle head faces forward. facing backwards like u said it shouldnt make any difference to the running.
