TILTING your lawnmower to the CORRECT side (and the reason why)

If you have to tilt your lawnmower to the side, there is a preferred side to tilt it. If you tilt it the wrong way, you’ll put boiling gas into the carburetor. Basically you could flood your carburetor and have trouble starting it. If you tilt your lawnmower with the carburetor to the sky, this is correct. In the video I show a side-by-side comparison on what happens if you do it correctly and what could happen if you do it incorrectly. You’ll see a lot more white smoke burning off when you do it wrong. If you put the lawnmower down incorrectly just let it sit about 20 minutes, and let the gas and oil drain out of the carburetor. Of course it’s easier to tilt it onto the correct side. MAKE SURE YOU DISCONNECT THE SPARK PLUG if you are going to be working on the blade. This way the engine can't start if you move the blade.
