Hey fellas. I decided to wire up my electric choke today (it was disconnected when I bought it).
Went down to Jaycar and got the required parts I needed. Found a switched 12v on the ignition harness and ran a wire through the hole where the manual choke goes.
I have a problem that I am not sure about and I will try and explain my best using pictures to help because I don't know the proper names for some things :p

So when cold and choke is fully on it should look like this, correct?

But by moving part where the spring attaches to;imgur
it only goes to here;imgur

and here it is at open (engine warm)

There is quite some play in this part; imgur
which allows me to close the choke all the way by hand even though the control arm for it doesn't move.
So my question is. Is something loose, broken or missing. Or is it meant to be how it is?
Advice much appreciated
Edit: Pics didn't work so I just added links sorry
