Default OT?, what happens if you put 2-cycle oil in your lawnmower crankcase?

1. A lot of cheap push mowers do NOT have drain plugs these days.


Some rather expensive mowers don't have drain plugs, either. My Honda
doesn't.

2. 90 degrees, as in ANGLE, not temperature, you dip****. GASOLINE
will start coming out the vent hole in the gas cap when the mower is
tipped up at a 90 degree angle.


Yes, and so will any gasoline. :-(
