Yeah, the vacuum lines are set up correctly. Also, something else I =
noticed is: 1 - there is no need for 2 elements, one is enough to open =
and close the flap, leading me to 2 - both the untouched element and the =
replaced element will open the flap when the system is off and close it =
when on. Something is very amiss here, I just don't know what. I rather =
not swap the lines because it's a PITA to get that plastic tube running =
across the front that blocks access to the lines on and off, but since =
the untouched element also opens the flap when off I don't think it's =
necessary to check the lines.

Richard:

I am not in front of my notes today.  I went through this same process =
on
(2) MB's where I replaced the elements in one and then learning of =
George's
kit rebuilt the elements in the other.  Placement of those dual vacuum =
lines
is important.  DO you have a way of reading the color band on the lines =
to
confirm proper placement?  Or where you just replaced the one element, =
can
you swap the lines to see if that changes the 'off' state placement of =
the
flap?

Only other thing I would recommend is to use a vac tester if you have =
one
handy to see if the other element has a leak that you can not hear just =
to
see if it holds the vacuum.
