You either have a bad float or/and bad needle and seat, which is causing the carburetor to flood. The fuel then flows through the valves and piston and mixes with the oil. The diluted oil will not lubercate and you will sieze the engine.( Not good!)

What does flooding your engine on your lawn mower mean?

It means the engine has been fed too much gas. If you depress the gas pedal on a car or truck many times before you start it, the same thing will happen. A gas engine, whether it is a small lawn mower engine or a truck's engine works the same. It needs a certain ratio of gas and air in order to create the explosion in the piston chamber that makes the engine work.
