changed oil.. huge puff of smoke and dead

[AEFord09]

Ok... I have a craftsman self propelled push mower. 190cc 7.0 ft lb torque... Drained the oil... Refilled til good on dipstick. Ran it for about 45 minutes. Then decked oil.. Was real hot and low. Added a bit of oil... Decked blade. Started it and walked 10 ft. Huge puff of white smoke and it shut off. Oil everywhere and air filter dripping oil. Help!!!

Sounds like you ran it low on oil followed by to full on oil.

Maybe thatt your crankcase breather is malfunctioning

When you stopped to check the blade, did you mistakenly tip the unit the wrong way, carb down, allowing oil to plug the air filter and enter the carb?

That must have been what i did... I drained oil, cleaned plug and oil and replaced airfilter after smoking for about 2 minutes it seems to be running ok. Thanks for all your help!
