quadrajam:
Seems odd but it's normal.

Kenth:
Use a 1/8" pin gauge:

I already have followed the choke setting procedure. when engaged, with engine cold, the flap is firmly in place and completely closed.
the play is due to the holes that are larger than the rod. is this because of the wear?
was like this also when it was new?
Thanks

quadrajam:
It was made like that. After the engine cranks the choke pull-off
takes a little bit of choke off. The slot allows the choke blade to
crack open  a little more commensurate with engine air flow.
It's kind of a balance. Very clever design.
