After trying to run a water hose through it to clean my Toro 650 190 CC lawn mower has refused to start for me, let me add before the hose I turned it upside down to get out excess grass, Now I've already replaced teh air filter and plug and still nothing I'm ready to just but a new unit and this thing is only 2 yrs old Thanks

Only tilt a lawnmower backwards toward the handle end (spark plug end raises) Other ways move the oil around to places it doesn't need to go. Now you probably have gas in the oil....check it or change it (milky looking or smells like gas..contaminated...might need changing anyway...You probably will have oil in the carb and it will blow smoke...You probably filled the oil breather with oil and it will drain down...causing smoke also. This was the wrong thing to do A 2 year old unit should be mechanically sound..Check the air filter, spark plug and carburetor for oil fouling. Remove the bowl on the carb to help get some of the oil out...it will leak gas when you do.
