I find those difficult to adjust because there's no fully turned in point. I find that turning it all the way in while it's outside of the carburettor helps. Let me know how you get on
A friend that has a lawnmower repair/sales business found one in the cobwebbed area of the parts store lol. There are a few new ones online but why not buy hew linings and epoxy the pad to the disc.

What age is the engine in question.
Briggs and stratton use a Model Type Code layout
If the Code is 890202 for example that means it was made in 02/02/1989
