Cam Chain set screw

[Anonymous]

I have read instructions saying to back the set screw out 1/4th turn and the plunger will spring forward. Is the idea to back the screw far enough out of the slot in the plunger shaft that the plunger goes forward and then lock the set screw in that position? (set screw not touching the plunger shaft)
When removing the CC tensioner assembly Im assuming the reason to turn the set screw in is to grab the plunger and lock it into the assembly for easier removal of the plunger, is this correct?
Thanks......

Yes.

Yes, again.
The only thing I'll add: sometimes the set screw needs to be backed off about 3/8 or almost 1/2 turn. It can vary from bike to bike. This is just in case you're taking the 1/4 turn literally. Hopefully, the o-ring inside won't leak. They sometimes do once disturbed.

Thanks Keith, is why i asked.....is taking more than quarter turn and last guy to do this (i recently got the bike) had the set screw still in some, burring the plunger shaft! Thanks.....I wanted to triple check its operation before I run the thing.
