1000 stalling out on a slope
 

I've recently cleaned out my carb bowl, and installed a fuel filter on my QL1000. Ever since, as I'm mowing, the tractor will just stall out as if it ran out of gas. At first I thought the coil was heating up and shutting down, but then the tractor seems to start right back up. I soon noticed that it always happens going uphill, downhill, or on a sideways slope.

When I cleaned the bowl, I replaced the rubber gasket. The other piece, the black membrane with the half circle cutout for the float, was not in stock, so I re used the old one. The edges were a little crinkled, and it wants to over hang and stick out under the edge where the bowl meets the carb.

I think my friend called the black membrane a "baffle". Could anyone tell me what this piece does? I'm thinking that we must have gotten it installed a little crooked and maybe it's hanging up my float somehow when I drive over a slope.

Any help appreciated.

Sounds to me like maybe you need to readjust your float level on your carb. something about the slope must be making the float cut fuel off to the carb. I have been told to adjust it so that there is a little more gap at the needle side then at the other side so that it gets a little more fuel to start easier too. Just my :TwoCents:
