Normally this is caused by tipping up the machine.It is important to make sure there is oil in the sump (dipstick).
Start the machine and let it run-idle for 3-5 minutes.It will then burn the fuel as normal/

Check oil level, and type of oil. If machine has recently been topped on it's side, just run until it clears.
