Hey everyone, new here. I was given a Powersmart 170cc self propelled push mower I'm not sure how old it is, but it appears pretty new. The mower starts up on the first pull, but when I'm using it it will occasionally start to billow out white smoke, run rough and die. Once it was even pushing oil out of the muffler when I was trying to restart. If it dies it will not restart at all, or run roughly with no power until it has sat for a while. Then it will start right back up.
Normally the problem seems to be caused when I tilt the mower up, raising the front wheels off the ground to turn the mower. I can't find anything with google searches for my particular problem. Luckily I have another mower, but would like to figure out the problem with this one and fix it if I can.
