Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Which Direction?, crankcase oil, crankcase breather

Question
Hi,

Someone just told me to tip the lawn mower for cleaning so that the carborator is up.  I don't know where the carborator is or what to do.  I'm a new lawnmower owner.  Please help.  Can't find the instruction book.

Thanks.

Hello Shelly:

>>Sorry for the Delay. This Question was Located in the Question Pool and I can Only Answer Questions from the Question Pool when I am Not Answering my Own Questions Here and at Another Place.
>>Always Tilt a Small Engine so the Spark Plug is Facing Up. This Allows the Crankcase Oil to be carried Away from the Crankcase Breather/Vent and keep the Crankcase Oil from Seeping into the Cylinder.
>>If you Send me the OEM (Lowes, Toro, Murray, ect) of the Mower, I can Usually Supply you with a Site Addy that has Online Manuals and IPL Breakdowns for you to View Online for Free.
>>I will Gladly Answer Any Questions you have here at All Experts.
>>If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I Hope to be Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Be Safe and Happy. Thanks.
