Almost always, clockwise to tighten, counter clockwise to loosen. Every once in a while you will come across a left hand thread one, but rarely.

How do you adjust clutch on a Honda fourwheeler?

Loosen the lock nut a few turns. Use a flat screw driver to turn the adjustment screw in the middle of the lock nut. Turn the screw CCW (in the direction the decrease play arrow points) until you feel resistance, turn it back the opposite direction a quarter turn and then turn the lock nut until its tight.
