I'd also be checking lubrication, and double checking balance.
Also simply turning the mount off for a hour...letting things cool...and re-homing can work wonders. |
You're thinking of the balance knob, not the spring plunger. The spring plunger document says that the factory setting is 2-1/2 turns.
See the spring plunger adjustment document here:

The balance knob typically needs to be backed off maybe half a turn by feel. When you have the covers over the worm blocks off in order to adjust the spring plungers, you can actually SEE rather than just feel how far to back off the balance knobs.
