Gary, thank you, but you do not have to send me a new carb body, that's a $40 part
Lonnie, I checked the carb on the 82's metal back plate, it does the same thing.
personally, people say there is karma, I don't know about that, but I think these two WORLD MODELS planes has jinxed me LOL

All it takes is to be put on one time with some dirt or unevenness between the carb and backplate, then torqued, or worse yet, overtorqued to distort that bore,
I could easily see the high spot as at first look.
The carb worked very freely when mounted on my 125 and properly torqued. It will certainly free up with use and some heat cycling.
