[AJD] Fuel Starving G

[STEVE ALLEN]

Because of the way the carbs are mounted on these, going uphill--which requires more power (and therefore fuel) than downhill--is an off-camber angle.  If there is play in the pivot points, the float or the attached needle may be able to get cocked to the side and not open up.

I have had something similar happen to my A, and I don't think I ever solved it, but that's what I suspect.

Did you check the float in the carburetor?

Since there seems to be signs of life on here.
Yesterday was mowing the meadow with my G and it would do fine mowing down
hill
but would starve mowing up hill.

When it would die I'd blow into the gas tank and it would be good for a
while.
Maybe less gravity at 8400'. Checked for restrictions in fuel line,
sediment bowl looks clean.

Anybody have any other ideas?
