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. |
Tried the same thing here with a leaf blower, worked alright. I'm sure it'd work better with an actual air compressor, though

I'm sure someone will chime in with a more technical answer but I personally wouldn't. These engines have lasted 30+ years on straight 30wt and they're still going strong. As far as I'm concerned, don't fix it if it ain't broken
