misadjusting
Tuning it incorrectly
Misadjusting is adjusting something incorrectly or improperly, resulting in settings that don't work as intended.
The error can be accidental or stem from misunderstanding what adjustment is needed: The mechanic kept misadjusting the carburetor.
Something misadjusted requires readjustment to function properly.
