Sorry after reading your question properly I’ve deleted my message
But yes you will only need to move the pully a tiny bit at a time and try it to see if it improves your symptoms.

Scribe a line so you know where it was to start with. then you can move anywhere within the slot and it should still just about start and run, but you usually only need to move it a small amount.
