My Honda lawnmower (I'm pretty sure it's a Buffalo) Made lots of smoke then died, help?

Question

I was mowing the lawn, and there was a bit of white smoke coming out of the exhaust to the side of the lawnmower, which gradually got thicker and thicker, until it became chokingly thick and the lawnmower died. I added more petrol and oil, but the lawnmower will not start.

It's a fairly old machine and it's probably an air filter or something, but I have no idea where it is or how to fix it. Any help, please?

Answer 1

check the oil level is not over full, makes sure your  air filter is clean,   as its an old motor it may be a bit sad in the rings and valves  and a blocked air filter  will cause an engine  to suck air from where ever  it can. but chances are it's  given up
