It is very possible for a carb to overflow and fill crankcase, however it will usually cause a liquid lock in cyl also but not always. I have seen a 460 in last two years that filled his crankcase with gas but he did not complain of locked engine. On the other hand, we sold a new 560 to a customer, he drove it home, hooked it to an auger, from a distance he noticed engine started to labor and stopped. He was sure it had siezed so he called up boss, says I do not want this tractor. I personally went out and hauled it into town after verifing that engine would not turn. On the way to town I stopped to check the load and noticed gasoline leaking so shut off gas. I took spark plugs out after I dumped it at shop and cyls were full of gasoline. Cleaned it all up and boss talked customer into taking it back as I had found a faulty float in carb. Tractor ran for many years trouble free. Now, the irony of this story is this. When I was servicing this tractor at a earlier date to get it ready for delilvery in case someone wanted to buy it, I had warmed it up, retorqued head, adjusted valves, went through other predelivery work and then started it to run it out side. Bang, antifreeze shot out of muffler. Pulled engine down, found nut on top of piston had busted hole in head. Also found other nuts inside stove part of intake manifold, parts in oil pan etc. Some one at factory had sabotaged this engine. It was one of the very last 560's to come off the line before shut down at plant to retool for new models. Sooooooo, when customer said engine siezed, you know what I was thinking, that I had missed something and the anti freeze had damaged engine. Turned out ok in long run though.
