Hello Kliban,
The stop motion is entirely seperate from anything else on the machine, you really do have to move the washer round to a position where it will grip when you tighten the balance wheel, take the screw all the way out of the stop motion wheel, you can turn the three pronged waher upside down as well, try it a different way and tighten the stop motion wheel up, then put the screw in all the way in and see if you can then loosen the stop motion, if you can't loosen it put the washer a different way round, remember that you are doing what an engineer would do so you have to have patience and you will do it.
