I have a new husquervarna push mower. I started it today, and white smoke was coming out and oil is coming out of the carburetor. I immediately shut it off and the white smoke was still seeping out and I could hear sizzling like inside the carburetor was very hot. The mower ran less than a couple minutes. What could cause this. I just used it couple of days ago and it was fine.

WELCOME to these Forums...

Check your oil level... It's likely overfilled, but Not with oil... it probably has a mix of engine oil and raw gasoline... If so, you will need to drain and replace the contaminated oil... Plus repair the carb float & needle valve... :smile:KennyV
