Strange problen stalling

16 years ago

OK it's been 100+ here and I have had my Ariens stall a couple times, at first I thought it was fuel but when I take the cap off only about a quart will top off the tank, yup I have removed the cap shook the tractor and waited a few min but it only seems to start after I toss that last quart in?

This is just a few weeks old, about 2.5 hours on a Briggs 44000 series Intek

The oil level is at the low mark and each time this happened was leaning to the left ot up hill, seems strange the oil level switch would cause this as it restarted in the exact same position after adding a quart or so of fuel.

Opening up the cap does not indicate a vapor lock or clogged vent?

I think I have let at least 10 min elapse between a stall and it still will not restart unless I jug some fuel in the tank..

Brand new gas can, fresh fuel, checked the air filter and their is a bit of stuff on the pre-filter but it does not look bad, once it restarts it runs strong.
