 removed damper from carb body, removed the fixing screw from the piston da=

 Don't remove the screw.=C2=A0 That is what keeps the body from turning whi=
le you are making the adjustments.=C2=A0 And you don't have to remove the p=
iston, either.=C2=A0 If the screw tension is set right it will allow the ad=
juster to turn with resistance but will keep that setting when you're done.=
