Ce-560 flight crew believes that something is not quite right during a thrust reverser test on taxi out; but the test is successful. Two legs are flown and the next morning pictures of the throttle quadrant are sent to maintenance for a professional opinion. Maintenance replies that the throttle detent window assembly has been installed backwards and needs to be corrected before further flight.

Narrative:
We completed pre-flight and fueling; stocking and cleaning of aircraft. Loaded passenger bagage and cat on board. During taxi out while running the taxi checklist when testing the thrust reversers (TR) the captain stated that the TR levers felt different. The test tested normally. We then completed are flight to are fuel stop and then on to destination. We were wondering if the levers were some how installed wrong because they had under gone maintenance two days before. They just did not feel right; it was hard to get your fingers under the levers. The next day during pre-flight we called maintenance and sent pic's of the TR levers and asked if they were ok. When they called back stating that they were not right and that they needed to be adjusted. The aircraft was written up and is waiting for maintenance. After completing maintenance on the TR's they should be test to make sure that they are working correctly.
