VM's are pretty quirky with setting FPS.

Normally, turn "in" to raise, and "out" to lower. However, the setting needs to be at a "click", or that can increase friction, and lower FPS. Clicks are at 90 degrees? 180 degrees?

There is also a point of diminishing return. At a certain point, both ways, it stops making a difference.

The other adjustment is in the valve. The valve has 4 "clocks", or settings. Turning the valve will also increase and lower FPS. Bit of a pain to adjust, so most people leave it at its highest setting (12 oclock), and do all the adjusting with the bolt.

Actually, the bolt is a headache as well. Its pretty trivial to rig up a spyder-style rear FPS adjuster.
