The smoke after running for a while the previous owner mentioned is a head gasket. The Intek is notorious for that, especially the single cylinder of that vintage. Easy fix before passing along to the next guy.
Gas in the oil is definitely a cause of the hydro lock condition I've been there did that with my poulan XT mower that key switch is the universal one that is common for most of the mowers to have
The needle isn't seating, wish i saw this video a week ago i just got the exact same mower with the exact same issue. Just got it running perfect earlier today and did my lawn
Why didn't you just change the carb solenoid , and with that oil full of fuel you should have never ran it until it was drained and changed. You got lucky.
