Do you have the correct spring? The old tensioner with the simple adjustment nut takes this type of spring. I couldn't fine any info, but I think the numbered dial version is different. Make sure it goes into place in the notches on the stud, it should hold it in place. Choose a notch that gives it the right kind of spring for the job.

Just been watching Ray Elkins on YT, he’s doing the same unit, tomorrow I’ll try the spring in each groove of the cog and see if I get the right result.
Thank you all for your help.
Goodnight.

Aha, give this a try. If the tension stud ( cog thing) it moving with the spring, check at the red arrow and see if you can tighten the set screw that should be there. That should secure the stud. This is not a 99 but you should have a similar one. and BTW the tension studs come in two different sizes.
