Need some help with a Ford D Series

jshepguis:
From a distant memory plunger is normally out as per picture the hinged clamp should be sat over plunger, then when you pull the cable the metal hinge pushes in the plunger on the fuel pump for the excess fuel start.

Yeah, but if I pull the wire it pulls the clamp away from the plunger and it won’t work. Besides, it’s kinda strange if the knob at the other end of the wire is pulled out by default. One could accidentally push the knob down and activate the cold start. It would make more sense if you would have to pull the knob to activate it.
