Mercury 18XD choke knob

I recently bought a Mercury 18XD motor.

My question may be silly.

When I pull the choke knob (primer actuator) all the way out it comes off into my hand.
Is that normal?

I ask because I have to remove the cover and move the primer lever up to get the knob back into place to go back a click for full choke.

If it is normal for it to come off then perhaps things just don't align. If it is not normal then perhaps part of it is broken or missing a screw to hold it in. Any advice?

Thanks!

Would certainly help to know the s/n of the engine.

The serial # is 6495898 which is 1986 I think.
