No, that is more like how it is supposed to be (though w/o looking my
recollection is that it locks when withdrawn and releases with a
quarter-turn).

But if someone just once pulls the cable out more than a couple of
inches (say while installing and before it is secured at the carbs) a
tiny half-moon piece of metal may fall out and disappear into that
void where fallen parts go.  Without that little bit (in a slot under
the springy-band) the stop feature will not work.
