I saw your picture of the point plate upside down. That is when I thought that being your regulator was missing pieces, maybe the point plate was off at some point and parts could have been left out. Without a parts diagram, only a guess.
Now that I see your new picture of the underside of the housing with lever, is it possible that there was a control cable hooked up to the lever to control it? I know you said you have a choke lever bracket.
Your idea of maybe a tensioner between the lever and housing could also have been there. A ball bearing inserted in hole in lever applying tension on housing? Just throwing ideas out there.
