Was wondering if gravity will effect the starting of this engine. I have a sloped driveway and it slopes to the front to the boat away from the motor. Would this starve the gas supply? <br />I am having starting troubles and I am hoping this is it

UPDATE: I turned the boat around to have the slope level or somewhat backward and the motor fired up almost instantly. <br />Come on guys help me prove my theory...

Anything is possible, depending on your tank design and size, yes it's possible. How do you know that is 1/2 full. Again depending on tank design 1/2 means 1/2 the distance from the top to bottom, but many belly tanks are tapered in the bottom to fit the hull.<br /><br />Either level the boat, or put some gas in it and find out for sure.
