Larry, I'm not disputing your word, but are you sure there would be an
oil problem?

The reason I ask, is because I have a 4-cycle weed eater,a nd it
doesn'tmatter how you lay it, nor what angle you run it, there hasn't
had a problem with oil leaking or foaming out of where ever it can get
out.

Just curious....

I have the T-8 and it can be laid on one side. The power
tilt gets it up pretty high. I leave it down towing but run
some pretty rough water with it up and have had no oil
problems so far.

If Jay can wait a day or so I'll try to remember to measure
the clearance needed when tilted up.
