Long story short, pressure will build up in the crank case which is not good... even though you're vented to atmosphere, having the intake "suck" the air out of the crankcase (creating negative pressure) helps the engine in efficiency and reliability. Basically; pressure in crank case = bad for rings and seals,,,,, blow-by gasses and oil in crank case are also bad and won't be evacuated as efficiently as having a vacuum on that tube.
Here's a good/quick read to give you a slightly longer version of what i just said:

ok that make sense. How long do think I can go before solving this issue? I planned to pipe the thing anyway. Should I make that a priority?
No immediate rush... lol its not going to cause your engine to blow up or anything. Since you're already planning on piping it in, just do it when you planned on it.
DUDE LOL I was getting ready to run and get a short pipe to add on to get it tied in. I haven't solved all the issues with my plan yet so thats why it ain't done yet.
LMAO. Sorry man, reading back i guess it does read pretty bad.
Ya you had me nervous for second there LOL
Sal, is there a metal mesh around the air filter? Will it short on top of the battery?
No metal mesh it's pretty much all plastic. This is not the final resting spot either I'm still working on completing the mod
I would recommend insulating that positive terminal.
Metal isn't the "only" electrical conductor there is. That's a potential fire risk.
