I appreciate the advice and comments on my previous post. After a rough start that subsequently lead to a good deal of oil dripping from the exhaust. I noticed the air intake was flooded with fuel. Pumped the excess fuel out, took out spark plugs, there was minimal oil in one of the the other was as I would expect it. After putting the plugs back, It cranked right away, some white smoke but stayed running at idle…until I increased the throttle. You can see in the video the air intake get flooded right away. I appreciate any advice on fixing this without breaking the bank please.

Used it 4 days ago with no problem. Today it cranked and started fine but shut off after about 20 seconds. I kept trying to get it started. And it would turn for a few second but white smoke kept getting heavier. Now leaking oil and perhaps some fuel from the fuel pump (?), and not turning. New battery, fuel tank full. Any advise is very welcome.
