Smoke from chainsaw

    Just wondering if anyone can give me a bit of advice.
    Started chainsaw for the first time in about 6 weeks and was cutting with it
    When I went to get more branches to cut I put the brake on to stop the chain from spinning as there was stones nearby.
    When I came back and turned off the brake a plume of white smoke came from it
    Any suggestions

    Overfilled the oil? Seeping onto the exhaust? Would a too heavy mix result in a smokey burn?

    Why does your chain spin when its idling?
    It shouldn't turn without throttle, your idle speed is too high.
    Get the carb tuned correctly with a tachometer.
