You can stall it but not by having it at an angle but by boggin it down, although I have yet to have that happen with me, the clutch slips before it dies.

I have a truck with the saddle tanks. I was winching on a long almost vertical hilclimb and ran it out of fuel /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif. I think I had a 1/4 or 1/3 of a tank. fuel went to the back of the tank and after about a 90sec. the lines went dry. I got it started with w-d40. This is the only time it has ever stalled. I beat on it verry regular and have never had a problem on a hill. It will run at any angle, just dont leave it there untill it runs out of fuel, or losses oil pressure.

This is one of the things I found on the cummins that I like. The mechanical lift pump on the side of the motor has a manual lever so you can bleed the system by hand.

I have the same kind of pump on my perkins, and I love it.
It comes in handy when I don't remember if the tank is full, since my guage doesn't work.

With my engine it only takes a few strokes and it's primed.
