-**Throttle Plate** - To assure the throttle plate is capable of closing completely, back out the idle set screw (on the side of the carb near the throttle cable cam) so that it is not limiting the closing of the throttle plate.* Make sure the throttle plate rotates smoothly with the throttle cable cam. Set the position of the throttle plate, with the idle set screw, so that the bottom edge of the plate is closed just past the transfer port holes and is thus located between the single idle port hole and the multiple holes of the transfer ports. In practice, this is easier on some CV40 carbs than others. Do what you can to keep the plate as closed as possible, but don't obssess on getting it exactly between those port holes. Your viewing angle is skewed when looking in there, anyway.

Set the position of the throttle plate, with the idle set screw, so that the bottom edge of the plate is closed as much as possible for setting the idle operation.

Your viewing angle is skewed when looking in there, anyway, so you see the hole before the plate is completely beyond it.
-(* If the throttle plate appears not to close fully with the idle screw fully wound out, carefully loosen the two throttle plate mounting screws, slightly. After the throttle plate is fully closed and has centered itself in the venturi, retighten the two mounting screws (don't overtighten & strip the threads). If by chance, for any reason, you have the throttle plate completely off, be aware that there is a right & wrong way to reinstall it. Be sure the plate is remounted with the right orientation because the top & bottom have an angled edge that needs to properly meet the carb venturi.)
+(* It doesn't happen often, but if the throttle plate appears not to close fully with the idle screw fully wound out, it may need to be recentered in the throat. Carefully loosen the two throttle plate mounting screws, slightly. After the throttle plate is fully closed and has centered itself in the venturi, start to retighten the two mounting screws (don't overtighten & strip the threads) while opening & closing the throttle so the plate squares up with the shaft but also recenters in the venturi. If by chance, for any reason, you have the throttle plate completely off, be aware that there is a right & wrong way to reinstall it. Be sure the plate is remounted with the right orientation because the top & bottom have an angled edge that needs to properly meet the carb venturi.)
