Roy, that's why the modification to the brass nut is necessary. Its easy, just follow the article and it helps the adjustment stay.

It's already got adjusting screws!
They do tend to unadjust themselves, mostly from the screws vibrating loose. Some folks have shimmed them to eliminate the problem.
