The manual is wrong, On the chart the in let is the exhaust and the exhaust is the inlet

Its far easier to understand if you ignore that chart and when set on T (which is a bit more clockwise on your pic) look at 1 & 4, one set will be loose the other tight so adjust the loose ones, rotate crank 360 deg (1 turn) and adjust the other set. Same for 2 & 3.

DO NOT turn the crank with a spanner on either the big nut or small nut at the points end

Many thanks ... hopefully won't have to redo for a little while ...I did think I needed to be a fraction more clockwise

Then all you need is a really skinny feeler gauge to get in the holes! I'm still trying to find one.
