Guys and gals,
Four stroke motors have crankcases that are reservoirs for the lubricating
oil. (no oil in fuel for lubrication like a 2 stroke)
Hondas and possibly others are finicky about the motor orientation due to
the oil possibly draining to 'non-reservoir' areas of the motor i.e. upper
valve
train, intake and exhaust.
The best advice would seem to be to check the motor and documentation for
instructions on storage and transportation to keep the UP side UP and vice
versa.
I know for the guys out there -- it might be time to ...............read the
instructions. We all have to at some time or another. LOL -NRASAC
PS-When I sold YoMamaHama's I had only the best to say about the product.
Good Stuff.
Good Luck, Have fun
Peace
