Frank, I thought I was the only one that left the tightening screw tight. Been reading for years now people who loosen it (like the old car points) then tighten back up. Never liked the old way on points on cars, seemed that sometimes the points would move a little bit when you tightened the screw back up, then you had to do it again to get the gap right. On a wave washer, I believe it’s meant to move a little with pressure when the tightening screw is still tight.
