According to my service manual you should have a slight amount of "spring back" at the end of the levers travel, "not to exceed 1/8 of an inch". You can adjust that by turning that knurled plastic "turnbuckle" just to the left of the cable mounting bolt.

Edit: If that is the original 50 year old cable that's never been adjusted the turnbuckle may not want to move. Be careful to avoid breaking anything.
