I believe that tab thing is part of what is called the "choke unloader." Automatic chokes have this item that pushes open the choke a small amount with the throttle floored. It's purpose is to open the choke a bit so you can clear out the excess gas in case you get the engine seriously flooded while trying to start it.
However it looks to be in the wrong position. It should be rotated down to where the throttle linkage can touch it at wide open throttle. Something there is assembled wrong I believe.
