Then big ring, smallest cog(highest gear) and the outer limit screw just touching the limit..not cranked down..then you'll get the '3clicks, to big ring'..

I've done the same until this latest generation of FDs. I finally gave in and used the Campy provided inline cable adjuster on my new frame that has no tension adjuster. My old bike has an adjuster on the frame, so it works fine.
I haven't found the Campy tool to be necessary. Just set the height over the tallest teeth on the crank and eyeball the cage to be parallel to the big ring.
