im learning more each day. a few more questions

ok, let me describe what i see and see how it sound to you guys.
the lever is connected to the pivot correct. the part that attaches to the throtle of the carb has a 2" long slot that allows movement of the throtle without engaging the kick down rod until about 3/4 way to wide open. in the resting position the slot is all the way forward and throtle movement can occur without movement of the kick down rod. is this the correct resting position?
