Topic: Carb butterflies nicked up

[fmctm1sw]

I have an old 350 twin I'm working on.  In the process of taking the carbs apart to clean them, I had to removed the butterflies to get that shaft out of there and cleaned up.  To make a long story short, those butterflies were real soft and didn't come out easily.  In the process, I nicked up the bottom of one of them and had to dress it up a bit. 

The bike idles high and I can't get it any lower.  Looking at the bottom of the butterfly, it looks like there's a gap now that I assume to be the problem.  I thought I might have them upside down but either way, the idle is near 2000 RPM.  Anyone have any thoughts...

Kinda looks like it's not closing all the way?

Exactly, I looked closely the other day and I had them in backwards.  The edges are angled slightly and I saw it after I looked real close.  I have to pull them again, it still idles a little high but I haven't adjusted the cables either yet.,..

Edit:  That little passage you see in the photo is now covered...
