hi
I had a similar situation, I found that I had slotted the plate at at 90
degrees & when pushed forward the lever comes down at a angle on the top
corner. I removed this with a swiss file plus a little bit & got full
travel. The idle stop is required to prevent strain on the cable thimble
attachement on the carbs.
