If the gas poured-out of the carb then the cylinder filled with gas when you pull start it the full cylinder will act as if frozen when the valves are closed you can not compress the liquid remove the spark plug and try to turn engine slowly make sure the kill switch is set to OFF so no spark can ignite the gas turn the engine till no more gas comes out then you will need to replace the engine oil to new the carb will need to be dissembled and checked what causes this is a stuck float a brass float can get a pinhole in it and sink then a free flow of gas will enter the cylinder.it it called hydraulicking you can bend valves and con rods trying to turn it hard with no place for the fuel to go.
when you do this squirt some oil in the cylinder to lube the rings and not score the walls reassemble and run the engine after these steps followed. have the water hooked up and it free flowing not to run under a load until your satisfied with the results a carb kit is around $20.00 bucks and a float $6.00 hope this helps
