I have a outmoded garden tiller that not had much use. When it is stored, the horizonal shaft motor is angled near the cylinder angling down. This causes grease to get within the cylinder. I was wondering if I could turn the motor 180 degree where the cylinder will be sloping up. If you see, lots of the plain push mower motors that the cylinder is facing the front of the mower. In past times it face the rear cause the same problem when you pushed the feel down for high grass
Answers: If it's a front tine tiller, the wheel or drag stake should be adjustable. When you store it, lower the wheel or drag stake assembly so the cylinder is even. Otherwise every time you neeed to use it, you'll have to remove the spark plug, verbs the rope a few times to blow the oil out of the cylinder, replace the spark plug, CHECK THE OIL LEVEL, and start it up. Are you sure it's not a Verticle shaft engine? Horizontal shaft engines own the cylinder on top and it would have to be almost tipped sideways or upside down to pack the cylinder with grease.
I want to say yes, but I don't know where on earth the oil slinger is. Small motors own slingers not oil pumps. If you know the oil slinger could still arrive at the oil at adjectives times it would work.
Good luck.
