1. You *do* have both parts of the adjusting tool, right?  :)  Tring to
adjust the mixture with just the allen-wrench part will a) not be too
effective and b) stretch and likely tear your diagphram.

2. If you overturn the adjusting screw, the needle will come out at the
bottom.  To get it back into place requires sticking a finger between it
and the piston and pushing up while turning it with the hex tool.

Found both out the hard way.
