I tried the compressed air into the front while running.
Tip 1. Keep away from the muffler/exhaust elbow. Not speaking from experience, something I had to keep telling myself while it was running.
Tip 2. Keep away from starter belt/pulley. See explanation above.
Tip 3. Watch out for the flying crap coming back into your face.
I can't believe how much came outta there. Good tip J mech
I also found out that I can clean out under my deck (sorta) by driving it up on ramps. Beats taking the deck off. I don't know why I didn't think of this before.
