What does this lever do?

This is a nice fusee that I was told was in running order. The balance wheel seems to be sticking on something...

Is this lever correct or out of shape? Should to stop the escape or fourth wheel?

That almost looks like an early type of hacking mechanism that purposely stops the balance when the hands are being set. If you can't figure out how it works, I'd pull it off and put the balance back in and see if it runs. I'd be surprised if it wasn't hanging up on that mechanism somewhere. Good luck.

I did - wasn't sure how it went so removed it while waiting for a reply. The watch runs but stops often so needs a good clean I expect.
