Does anyone or everyone grind away the dags on the "top plate" of the nikki to get better flow. Mine has some quite angular edges on the way in and a few dags from the mould or stamp or whatever makes them.

Also can I get more flow by pissing off the choke. or do I really need it I think I can survive with out it here in sunny Gold Coast Australia.

 

take that choke and punt it. even on a 30 degree morning mine fires right up no pumps of the gas. W O O T

 

how about rounding the edges on the "air horn" (is that the name of the top plate)

 

ehhhh, nah not worth it.
