try this ..
it's 'cheating' but 'might' get you the result you need.

What I've found is even when the allen screw loosens properly, and the
eccentric adjusting feature works..
sometimes..
it still won't adjust to the correct setting.  I aim for contact at
closed throttle and it uncontacting 'just off' idle.

I've had to bend the little metal tab thingey that the cam pushes on.
Like with a needle nose pliers.

I don't think there's much danger of breaking anything .
I've done this maybe 10 times always with fine results ..

though I've not had to 'trial and error' to get it right ...
I've only had to tweak the metal tab thingey in order to be able to
reach useful adjustablilty.
