    A screw is a screw until one puts a nut on it. It is then transformed into a bolt magically. Screw a screw into anything other that a nut, it remains a screw.

    No. Most screws are tapered, bolts are cylindrical with a thread.

    P.S. Apple just corrected 'cylindrical' to 'cycling rival'. Which kind of sums up our relationship.

    Really should be a set screw not just screw.
    Isn't it strange how a set screw can turn into a bolt when you add a nut.

    As for when a set screw becomes a bolt we normally say when the thread stops and there is a plain shank up to the head makes it a bolt. http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Screws+Fixings/Bolts+Set+Screws/d90/sd970

    As for the kick start try the nut and bolt, and if it is still loose grind out some material from the slot to allow a bit more tightening on the bolt.

    A hack saw can also be used to widen the slot.

    Isn't a "screw" a prison officer and a "bolt" a really fast bloke from Jamaica?

    Haha, Nice one Dave.
    Nice bite there Bob. You went for that hook line and sinker.
    A new kick starter has sharper splines as they are not worn. Also the bolt is bigger on the later models.

    That's because his humour is obscure and intelligent and why you should never, ever, ever moderate. X
