Rob, I have the same problem with my Yahmaha 4 (4 stroke). From what I understand, the design on the 4 strokes is such that if laid on the wrong side, the oil leaks into the cylinder. When this happens - and it seems to happen on mine even if it is laid down on the right side - what I do is put down some oil absorbing cloth and then pull the spark plug. I clean the spark plug while the oil darins out and after it stops draining oil and the spark plug reinserted, the motor usually starts after a few pulls.
