    Check your needle valve on the float bowl... thats your primary means to stop fuel once the proper float level is achieved.

    I also hope you have been replacing that oil every week after it does this... because if the cylinder is filling with fuel... a lot more is diluting your oil in the crankcase as well. If you haven't you are destroying the bearings and will soon need a new engine.
