it is not a big deal, but if you forget to turn your gas off, you will need to do an oil change, if your machine is running very poorly- you may have bad piston rings.
if it runs fine- clean your carburetor with carburetor cleaner or brake kleen- then dry out with compressed air- if you fuel shut off isnt working, a cheap fix would be an inline fuel shut-off... hope this helps!!

blow by meaning your piston rings are so worn, your getting blow by when it fires off some of the fuel is gettign blown into the crank case. no other way.

well ....., maybe 1 more (maybe). but it's extremely uncommon and like 1 in a few hundred cases type of thing. if your carb is in such bad shape, and your leaking tons of fuel and it leaks into the air filter box. there's a vent hose that goes from the case to the filter box for ventelation. fuel then can travel down that hose and into the case, but again not all are setup thsi way, and it's VERY rear. in many years only seen it 2 times.
