    It’s not unusual for the top or bottom of the butterfly to not touch the carb body.

    I’m not familiar with your motor, but some have an adjustment somewhere along the choke linkage, but you don’t want the closed position to be so tight the choke butterfly sticks in the throat, and you want it to have the thinnest profile when fully open.
