When I last had to change the blade on our mower ( don't have large
pebbles
as borders ! ) I laid it on it's side for about an hour, it smoked for
about
three cuts before it settled down again. Was it transported upright ?

Is there a side you're supposed to lean it on? On our honda, if you put it
on the wrong side, the oil leaks into the air filter.

(Having experienced the Honda, I'll never have another B+S engine)
