<VV> What did I do wrong now.

[BBRT]

I would check oil. Probably ok.  Assuming it didn't run very long with the 
fuel spraying or leaking into the oil somehow. If you have the fuel leaking 
out he tailpipe do as Matt suggests and look  for a stuck inlet valve or 
float.  They seem to stick very easily-some more than others, even when 
rebuilt and put on..some do and some don't..  I would fire it up and let it 
run a while and then adjust. Ought to get the fuel burned up.

Good Luck
Let us know.
