That makes sense. I went out and cleaned it out. How did you come up
with that?

I have a Poulan Pro riding lawn mower. It has just started having a
problem that I need help diagnosing. It is some kind of a fuel
problem and is related to the position of the mower while cutting. My
land is sloped and, when cutting the following happens.
If I am cutting across the slope and my left side is on the downhill
side of the slope, the mower gets plenty of gas and works perfectly.
If I am cutting across the slope and my right side is on the downhill
slope, it slows down and seems to lack power. It almost slows to a
stop. The fuel pump is mounted on the left side of the engine. Any
thoughts about what is going on will be appreciated. THanks

Clean the fuel cap vent, or loosen the cap a tiny bit.


I used to have to cut a sloped front yard and my 18HP tractor would
act up. Once I cleared the cap vent - she ran fine.

It is also a "troubleshooting tip" for small engines with fuel
problems. Good practice to start with the easy stuff, first

So did clearing the cap vent work. You didn't mention it.
