Remove spark plug. If it's wet with fuel then likely it's flooded. Pinch off fuel line, dry out cylinder by pulling starter rope several times while spark plug removed. Dry and install spark plug.
If plug was dry or once you dryed cylinder and plug, set half throttle. Leave fuel line pinched off and spray a short 1 second burst of starter fluid directly into carburetor throat. Promptly pull starter rope up to three times.
If fire and runs for a second or two then spark is ok. If no fire, recheck for flooded cylinder. If not flooded, then no spark or low compression. Else release fuel line and attempt start. If no start or runs and stalls then likely it needs further carburetor work or bad fuel. Recheck for flooded cylinder.
Could be it is flooding. On my Coleman generator the ethanol in the unleaded dissolved the rubber seat on the carburetor float valve. A new carburetor fixed it and ow I only use ethanol free gas in my small engines.

If your tractor keeps leaking gas into the crankcase see how you can fix the problem by ... The hard starting is caused by fuel filling the cylinder.
The only thing that stops gas going into the carb is the needle valve and seat in the bowl of the carb.
Doing the same thing with 2 different carbs sounds like trash in the gas tank flowed into the carb and is holding the needle valve off the seat allowing gas to flow all the time.
Clean the tank. Clean the trash out of the needle valve/seat. Add a small engine fuel filter between the tank and carb.
You should be good to go.
It sounds like your carburetor float is stuck open, which would explain the flooding, the white smoke, and the gas coming out of the exhaust. Sounds like you may have gotten a faulty carburetor. If you can, I would return it where you bought it and get a replacement. Else, you will need to have the carburetor rebuilt, or have the valves checked out.
Your engine is flooding because you probably have some debris under the inlet float needle valve causing the carburetor to flood as you described.
Sounds like you will need to clean the carburetor or replace your carburetor internal rubber parts like the diaphgram and O rings. Be sure to use compressed air to blow out all the fuel and air passages. Be careful when blowing out the passages, because there are sometimes small rubber type seats in the bottom of some of the passages. Sometimes you can get by with priming the carburetor or using starting fluid and letting it run a few times like that and it will flush the gunk out of the jets,but most of the time you will need to rebuild the carburetor. Keep in mind that the float for the carburetor must be level when you go to reassemble the carburetor or follow the instrucitons you get with the carburetor kit. If the mower/weedeater is over a year old, then I also recommend that you buy and install a new carburetor repair kit,because the diaphragm will get hard and that will cause it to be hard to crank. When you clean your carburetor and remove the jet screws, you will first need to lightly seat the jet screws. But before you lightly seat the jet screws count the number of turns it takes to seat the jet screws from their original position. Be sure to mark the turns down on a piece of paper. That way when you put the jets back in, you know to lightly seat them first and then turn them back out to their orginal position before you started.

Not familiar with this model, but this is exactly how the smaller ones behave when the carburetor diaphragm is shot. Larger engines usually have a float system with needle and seat in which case the problem is either a leaking needle/seat assembly or saturated float.
