Default Mower problem

Hi!
This is my first post to this site. I have an old Lawnflite 548 ride on
mower.Starts Ok and runs but when I mow my sloping field it plays up. I
mow across, and it is ok if leaning slightly to the left, but when I
turn and it is leaning to the right it splutters, won't rev and then
stalls. As a result I have to mow forwards then backwards which is a
nuisance. It has only recently starting doing this. Can anyone help?
Thanks


I'd say its a fuel problem. As this is an older mower and assuming
this problem grew progressively worse, I'd say it's time for a
carb rebuild. If there is some sort of float in the carb, I'd suspect
that.
