scott,  I’m not familiar with the mini swift, but I believe that most of the motors built by “iame”  are the outer nut loosens “ccw” while the larger inner nut loosens in the “cw”  rotation.

ccw = counter clockwise

cw= clockwise

hope that helps.

John, Thanks!  You are correct!  CW to loosen!

Scott,
I hate to ask but did you ruin your crank?

Hi Mark,

Possibly…  I literally just removed the 24mm nut last night and the threads look slightly damaged.    I want to find the replacement nut (which is not easy) and see if it will even thread on and most importantly hold.

I am hopeful that the nut has softer threads than the hardened threads of the crankshaft.    I have pics but can not seem to post on here.

Any suggestions if the crank threads are damaged?  Other than replacement…

 

Thanks!

Scott

scott,  for mini swift parts go to cometkartsales.com.

look under engines and parts, then 2 cycle engine parts, then iame mini swift parts, then mini swift clutch parts. the nut should be #124 and retail is $9.52.

everything is categorized by category of engine breakdown.

hope this helps for future reference.

Fingers crossed!
