Roger that. I'll be "tweaking" it. <G>

Well there you go. But do take care also because too much restriction can
have the same effect.

It was an air problem alright. But it was too much air. In attempting
to find a easy way to cut dadoes I made a guide.
I can just draw a line on my work piece where I want the dado and clamp
my guide right next to the line. However, that puts the base of the
router 1/2" above the work piece leaving a gap underneath the router.
The result is not enough suction. By (double stick) taping a 1/2"
piece of wood under the router (refer to photo) I closed off some of the
gap. Presto, adequate suction.

I'll take a guess that your hole in the clear plastic was not big enough to
allow enough air flow for the vacuum to move the debris out efficiently.
