Mtd ride on motor oil issues

Hi all I accidentally tipped my ride on upside down and now have oil coming from the spark plug hole and it won't start. Any ideas would be awesome thanks

Yep, Remove and clean air filter and muffler. Wind it over without the spark plug in (Be careful of the oil coming out at a rate of knots)
Clean plug, top up oil and start, will smoke like hell for a few minutes, Goodluck (o:

dont forget to refill all the lost oil when it runs again

Probably best to do this before it runs again :oP

Roll it back onto it's wheels before you do all this.

Normally the oil dipstick on them shows the wrong level, even after sitting for some days, the oil does not drain back into the motor from dipstick tube, to get correct level take dipstick out, wipe it, put back in, remove and the right level will surprise you. Nearly ran mine very low by just removing the dipstick to check. !

That's the normal procedure to check any engine oil level, except older CAT dozer's where you check them at the end of the day with the engine idling.
