My lawnmower (20 year old B&S 3.5 HP) won't run if it gets tilted to the
right as seen from the pushing-the-mower position. It acts like it's not
getting gas. If I tilt it back to the left it starts going again just
fine.
When tilted to the right the low point of the gas tank would be even
lower
so I'm sure it's getting gas to the fuel line when it stops. I checked
the
carb floats and they seem to be functioning properly. The fuel line is
new.
The fuel flows freely through the line. The air cleaner looks good. I
sprayed the carb with carb cleaner. I removed the jet and cleaned it
too.
I even made sure the gas tank was full. Oil level is just a tad high.

You might need a Republican lawnmower.
