What causes a mower engine Briggs Stratton 25hp to surge with gas and flood out after starting normally?
The engine is receiving more gas than it can consume. Sometimes the carburetor needle valve will vibrate to the open position or the float valve will stick open. Also, a fouled spark plug will not provide sufficient spark to ignite the fuel. Check out a lawn mowers and small engines repair manual from your public library for troubleshooting and repair procedures.

What to do when gas lawn mower flooded?
First, how did it get flooded? A lawnmower equipped with a fuel primer that is working correctly, should only need to be pressed three times to get the carburetor primed. Any more than that, can flood the engine. If it is flooded, You can either take out the spark plug, and dry off the electrode, (threaded end), because it is most likely soaked with fuel, that will not allow correct ignition firing. Put the spark plug back in and try starting again. If you have starting fluid, squirt a little bit in the carburetor, by removing the air filter, and squirting a small burst, directly into the carburetor intake. Starting fluid is higher octane, and should ignite easier. Or, a simpler approach is to let the lawnmower sit for about ten minutes giving the fuel time to evaporate. Then try starting again, only do not prime the carburetor this time. Pull the starting rope a few times, if it does not start, then press the primer no more than three times. It should start up if there are no problems with the carburetor. Otherwise, the fuel itself may be bad due to age, or the mower may be due for servicing.
