Dave , if you’re saying the nut turns freely(by that I mean continuously) , it is more than likely stripped thread in the nut itself , seldom if ever will it strip the crankshaft thread. I’ve had this happen before , and it boils down to how much time and money you are preparde to throw at it. I have managed to cut the flywheel off , but it takes great care so as not to damage the crank. I can personally vouch for the new coils from villiersparts , they produce a better spark than the ones I used to fit as a youngster when working for a villiers agent , same as his condeners.
