Sounds like the carburetor float valve is stuck open most common due to old or dirt in gas

Drain gas tank and clean the tank

Clean the carburetor

Remove the sparke plug the crank the mower a few times to remove any gas on the piston

Dry and clean the sparke plug then reinstall

Clean the air filter

Change engine oil cause there will likely be gas in the oil due to flooding
