Hi,

I think I saw Deejay in one of his videos tilt the SB45 back so it was resting on the handlebar grips.

I did this once, probably for too long and hydrolocked so I had to remove spark plug etc.

Anyway, should you do it and if yes, what;s a safe period of time before you'll hydrolock and unable to pull cord.

Now you know why most of the US walk behinds have the cylinder and plug facing forward. Yes it is a pain to push mower under bushes if the plug terminals are not insulated.
