I'd check the oil level and make sure it's not over the full mark on the dip stick.

It's usually worn valve guides or worn rings ,if it is only burning oil on start up it's usually worn valve guides.

I'd look at a tip shop or Gumtree or Facebook marketplace for a Cheap or free mower as old mowers are $50. or less
