AITA? I borrowed my neighbours lawnmower but now it doesn’t work properly

Basically my lawnmower wasn’t working once so my neighbour allowed me to borrow it to cut my lawn.

The lawnmower has a large storage container for clippings and it was empty when I first started using it.

After I was done mowing my lawn, I tried to give it back to him as good as new so I filled it up and tried to empty the container of clippings. I couldn’t figure out how to do that without breaking it so I went to ask him for help but he was busy so I just put it back in the same place he stored it as usual and thought nothing much of it.

Since then, I have heard him start it up at least once (but possibly more I wasn’t paying attention) but he has just come over and told me that it no longer works properly and I’m to blame. It was working completely fine even after I was done using it and the only issue is the fact that the stored clippings could have affected the life of the engine.

Am I the Asshole?
