When you say you've adjusted it do you mean you shortened or lengthened the connecting rod?
If not that's the way, but a picture would make it easier to understand.
How hard can it be?

I'm going to give this a coat of thinking about tomorrow while I'm doing some more work on mine because there must be a better way of doing this.
