Turn the mixture nut full lean (or remove it entirely), so the jet is higher than it will ever be in normal operation. Tighten the big nut that locks the jet housing until the housing will just barely move when rapped (I use a brass drift as I don't have a hammer small enough to fit into the space) and then tap the housing around until the piston & needle falls freely (listen for the click when it lands). Then finish tightening the big nut and check that it still lands with a click. Usually takes me two or three tries to get it just right.
