I tilted my lawn mower on the side to clean it, and a bunch of oil came through the air intake. How do I fix?

The lawn mower started back up and blew a ton of white smoke. Now it sputters REAL bad and barely runs. It’s getting worse and worse. How do I fix it?

      change the spark plug and let it set over night. that way the oil will go back to the crankcase. and while you have the plug out crank it over a few times to clear the cylinder.

      Just sit it upright and let it burn out the oil. Take off the air cleaner and spray the carb with carb cleaner. Maybe take out the spark plug and spray it too after it cools.
