It depends on the "handedness" of the thread of the screw. Most screws have right-handed threads that in order to loosen the screw, the screw is turned in a counterclockwise direction. If however, the screw has a left-handed thread, then to loosen it you would turn the screw in a clockwise direction. By common convention, right-handedness is the default handedness for screw threads. Therefore, most threaded parts and fasteners have right-handed threads so to loosen most screws you would turn the screw in a counterclockwise direction.

Singer 201-2 balance wheel not tighten I loosen the stop motion screw to wind the bobbin and now I am unable to tighten the same to allow for the blance wheel to engage. Please help?
There's a small screw inside the stop motion screw on the balance wheel of the machine. Make sure you're not loosening that screw. The part to loosen is the silver "wheel" within the balance wheel, not the screw that holds the silver wheel in place. Be sure to check the small screw that holds the silver wheel in place and make sure it is tight. If the screws and wheels check out ok, you may have a stripped the threads on the stop motion screw causing it to continue to turn and not tighten.
What is the diff between clock wise and counter clock wise?
Clockwise is the direction the hour, minute, and seconds hands go on a clock. Basically, clockwise is a circle that goes from right to left. Conversely, counterclockwise is a circle that goes from left to right.For example, most screws are inserted right to left. The common oldtime expression to remember this is "righty-tighty". That would be clockwise. To loosen the screw, the oldtime expression is "lefty loosey", meaning, turn the screw counterclockwise to loosen it.

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. This is what I read for my 2000 Rancher ES in the owners manual, but I used it on my 85 fourtrax.

To effectively loosen a tight screw, you can try using a screwdriver with a good grip and turning it counterclockwise with steady pressure.
