Carb Linkage W/Pictures

[181Mariah]

I am new to this boat and not sure which way the linkage is suppose to go. I belive this is the 1993 Weber 4 barrel carb but could not find any numbers on it.
The first picture shows how I found it, the tab at the red arrow was bent back to allow the throttle to move foward. I bent this tab back straight and now the throttle only goes half way down. It hits the middle metal tab at the yellow arrow and gets stuck.
The second picture shows the linkage flipped 180 degrees. In this position the throttle will go all the way down.

Thanks bond-o,
I will fix tonight, one more question. With the engine turned off, I put the throttle all the way down and did not seem like all the barrels were open. Seems you would want everthing opened up for max air flow. Is this true?
