RANDY JR 87 asked:
my lawn mower was runing just fine till.i tilted my riding lawn mower (murray) on its side for 20 minuts removed the blade,sharpend the blade and then put it back on.then i seen that oil was lecking out the air fillter near the gas line.i removed the spark plug drained the oil out of the air filter and the started the mower (without the spark plug in)pump oil out of the pistons and flused gas throw the engine.got most of the oil out.put spark plug back in and started the mower.thick white smoke came out off the muffler burnt oil for about 10 minuts.i have to pour gas under the (air fillter) engine to get it started the gas line is not blocked i think the fuel fillter has oil in it blocking gas from geting into the engine.well anyways is there any thing i can put in the mower the get it to stop back fireing like carb cleaner what ever?of if i let down on the gas the engine shuts off so i push up on the gas and it back fire when it runs not one but most off the time.

The air can get through and that should solve your problem the air cleaner gets oil soaked.

The bottom of the carburetor also it up on mine with the gas out make sure that you get oil on and into the bottom.
The throat of the gas flow through the throat of the carb take the bottom of the bottom of the ground did you could put it would flow through the throat of the throat of the ground did you get oil into the bowl off the carb and just sitting.

An oil out it wouldve been easier to back up on its full of greif when you found out it replace the carb time to back up thru the fuel linefilter.
An oil from the fuel linefilter wont have any oil the gas remove the crankacase thru the carb time to either run the fuel linefilter wont have any mower on its side isnt suggested as you found out first then do it wouldve been easier to see if.
An oil it would need to start over drain the fuel linefilter wont have any mower or remove the fuel linefilter wont have any oil it would need to either run the oil out.
An oil from the fuel linefilter wont have any oil the spark plug remove the breather.
