I have an old Murray Ridding mower with a 12 HP Briggs some how gas is in the oil? I noticed this when cutting high grass it started smokeing white so I shut it off and the oil was really thin and smelled like gas. I changed the oil someone told me the float will stick in the carb when the motor is under heavy load. He recommended cleaning the carb. What should I do next and how can I keep this from happening again.
