I should have but after reading the first setup page about checking to make sure it closed off all the way I thought this was a common problem. It was tight removing the plate but the bottom of the plate was bent backwards slightly leaving the whole bottom area open by a hair line. i removed the plate and tapped it back straight and reinserted it. i had to cock it around a few times to get it to settle correctly. maybe the throat is a bit on the low side. I chamfered the back end of the carb by .5mm to get it in there. it was bent right at the screw with the top straight and the bottom had a 5 or 10 degree angle.
