Veering ever so close to NHR territory, I would suspect that since it is a
proper name, Venturi should remain intact.

So it is one venturi, several venturis.

I agree that they should line up. However, the size of the gap between
them will be different depending on the diameter of the end of the
mouthpiece shank.

and I've found most have receivers that are too
large and the venturi locations are unpredictable.
Keep in mind that how far the mpc goes into the
receiver is less important than where th
You could try some thread and beeswax round the shank of the mouthpiece.
