Need Info on Yamaha 8hp Outboard When It is Fully Tilted Up

@m73g2000cwd.googlegroups.com:
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.
Damned cheap *******s wouldn't put even the owner's manual on the net in
pdf format. They want you to BUY one, so I couldn't quote from it. But,
all the portable 4-stroke outboards, like the Yam8 I've seen, warn you in
the manual to carry it by the handle, lay it on its back or on one side
ONLY so the oil doesn't run out of it into the carb, escaping into the case
I'd guess. Lionheart's 5hp Nissan specifically forbids carrying it or
laying it in certain ways or bad things happen.
Premix 2-stroke motors are just better for a portable outboard...lighter,
more powerful, noisier, smokier but you don't have to change the oil or
worry about how you lay it on the dock or in the trunk....er, ah, if you
ran the carb floats dry, that is...(c;
