You say that the base plate *can* move, but can you be sure that it
*does* move?
I'd say that IMHO a problem of this kind would show up at all revs, not
just tickover speed.
"choking" implies a fuel/air mixture problem, have you changed your air
filter recently? Also, a non standard cam could produce a *lumpy*
tickover.

As far as I am aware, electronic ignition systems still use the standard
base plate for the sensor location (the ones I have seen anyways), so I
don't know if this would cure your problem.
just my 0.02p
Good luck,
Kevin.
