how can i start my briggs and stratton 21 hp model #406677?

my murray lawn mower stopped in the middle of mowing my lawn and will not restart. It appeared to be low on oil so I added to the proper level. it does not appear to be getting spark and smells flooded. I have heard there are low oil shut off switches but don't know how to reset it?

The low oil cutout switch resets itself.....you've probably flooded the engine, so remove the spark plug, dry it, heat it up if you can - after first cranking the engine to clear away unburnt fuel.
