I suspect that the previous owner tried to adjust the derailleur and cable to act as a double instead of a triple. If you will release the cable from the derailleur, release all of the cable from the shifter by shifting into its lowest position and follow all of the Park Tool instructions I suspect you can make it function properly. But I could be wrong.
