I am not sure if the switch has built in adjustment, I think I adjusted mine
by trial and error by bending either the contacts or the springs the holds
the centrifigual weights in place slightly, but it has been a few years
since I did this and the diagram a have doesn't show this pieces internals.
Sorry for the fuzzy description, but I think it can be done, I would be very
careful and bend slightly and test results, I do remember it seemed
intuative to me when I had the switch apart (how come I remember that but
not how I did it?).
