They are very sensitive, that's all I know.

Also the chain looks dry and rusty. It might be that the chain doesn't react properly whatever that means.
in this pic, IIRC that bigger silver Phillips head screw is used to pivot the detailer back and forth. I think if you pull it tighter is swings the entire unit back adding tension.

been I minute for me. but I remember checking alignment, checking top and bottom stops, adjusting cable tension, and then making sure overall tension is good. maybe top and. bottom stops was first.
