Rob,
I have the same problem with my Yahmaha 4 (4 stroke). From what I
understand, the design on the 4 strokes is such that if laid on the wrong side,
the oil
leaks into the cylinder. When this happens - and it seems to happen on mine
even if it is laid down on the right side - what I do is put down some oil
absorbing cloth and then pull the spark plug. I clean the spark plug while the
oil darins out and after it stops draining oil and the spark plug reinserted,
the motor usually starts after a few pulls.
