simplicity with a kohler command 18hp v twin

[old sovereign]

Hi everyone

My issue is I started my mower and about 1 minute later A large white cloud cmd out the exhaust. I removed the engine cover and air cleaner to find standing gasoline in my carb. and oil spray that came out of the dip stick. it is a 1995

any ideas?

Sounds like the needle valve in the carb stuck open due to wear or foreign material preventing it from closing. Fuel pump then filled the carb full of gas into the intake manifold, and into the cylinders. sounds like there may also be gas in the oil, so that will probably need changed after fixing the carb.
