Smoking When Tiller Tipped

Whenever tipped either direction (forward or backward) tiller will throw white smoke then quit. It appears that not severe tipping will cause pulling gas from the carb into the crankcase. Tiller will start after time, or if crankcase drained/ refilled. How to remedy or prevent this?
