Loosen the bolt and center the plate. Make sure as it moves it does not touch the sides of the venturi. It is not supposed to touch the rubber bumper. That is only there in case of a backfire. The "rest position" is adjusted by turning the nut next to the hole for the mixture screw. The plate should be in the center of the venturi at the smallest point in it's diameter several mm away from the rubber stop. I hope you did not coat the plate or the venturi. That will affect things.
