My 17N (9N/8N engine)starts on first crank - runs smooth as silk but has a quirky habit of stalling out whenever I'm operating at any slight downhill and sideways angle. The engine sputters - then recovers - then sputters - then recovers - then quits. I really can't tell if it's starved for fuel or if it's flooding. When I attempt to start it there ends up being a lot of fuel - like it's flooded but I don't know if that is because it was flooded or because I'm cranking it without starting and therefore causing excess fuel to accumulate.
The most recent time this occurred, I was in a spot where I could use neutral and roll down a slight hill to a flat area. The tractor started immediately.
