Had to watch three videos until I came across this one that clearly and simply showed what needs to be done. Thank you for not complicating a tutorial on what is a simple adjustment!
Your adjusting the left stop is WRONG. You used a channel lock to grab the Rainbird housing, not the pop up head and claimed it adjusts the head Left or Right. Although true, you are merely only unscrewing it, which isn't advised since you are allowing water to escape (if u turn left too much). In your exapmle (2:40 mark) you are only just unscrewing it (to adjust Left stop) then re-tightening it to demonstrate adjusting the left stop to the right. That is not how to do it. Let's see what happens when u KEEP rotating counter-clockwise for a full turn -- popcorn ready for that water explosion. What you should be doing is, turn the water off, rotate head to the left stop, raise it from its container, grab the lower neck of the pop up head, and then with your other hand grab the top part and rotate counterclockwise to the new Left stop. Sadly, Rainbird has no way of adjusting back if you go too far Left. IN that case you will have to unscrew it from the housing and pull the rotor out and reposition it, then put it back in, tighten it, and repeat the process above again, if needed.

Best explanation for adjustment I have come across. Well done!
