What's this?

Same experience here yesterday. Year old gas. Turned it on its side and

sharpened the blade a little with a file. Black sludge oil spilled out. Set it back down. Took the spark plug wire off and cleaned the tip with my glove. Filled with gas and pushed the little bubble. Starts on the second pull. Briggs and Stratton 3.5 horsepower engines are solid!
