Thanks!! That is probably what happened.

Thanks a lot! When I removed the hose between the filter and carburetor, it dripped oil. There was also some oil in the bottom to the filter chamber. I cleaned them out and it pretty much stopped smoking. As far as the oil, it was low, and I think it was at the correct level before I flipped it...

Last night, when the engine was hot, I rolled my Honda HT3813 onto its right side. I got it back onto its wheels within 5-7 seconds, but when I tried to start it, it smoked a lot.
