83 30' Southwind parked on hill now won't start

[Barpilot]

I parked my 1983 Fleetwood Southwind 30 foot Class A motorhome on a hill with a pretty good pitch to it and now it won't start. I poured some gas directly into the carb and it fired right up until that gas was burned up it looks like this coach has about a hundred gallon tank in it and my gauge registers a quarter tank will parking these on a hill with a low fuel level cause them to not start. I replaced an electric inline fuel pump on it and also replace the mechanical fuel pump up off the engine does anybody have any ideas or words of wisdom?

Can ya coast it to the bottom?

Try taking fuel line loose at the carb to see if fuel pump is working.

why not add some more gas to the tank 5 gallon gas jugs until it starts

Did you check to make sure you're getting a spark? If not, check the coil and ignition module.

Did you check the battery?

OP said it started by pouring fuel into the carb so those wouldn't be the issue.

LOL. My son'in law was using my old boat. It stopped running. I asked him if he had planed it out (leveled it). He said no. I said start it and drive it slowly. It was fine. I had to explain how fuel seeks the lowest point. The pick-up tube was in the middle of the tank....the fuel was not. I also told him I could no longer walk on water to help him, since I was on shore and he was in the middle of the lake. My daughter said she would never go out alone in my boat without me.

When you try to start it do you see fuel shooting into the carb? If not, then you have a fuel issue (clogged filter, not enough fuel, etc).

Been there with my clipper. Have had all the above as the cause.

Classic 35 year old problem. Needs a professionally installed electric fuel pump at the tank.

Make sure there fuel. Don't trust the gauge. Nose down? Did it run when it was parked. How long has it sat at an angle? You can throw a lot of parts but it won't run without gas.

How long has rig been sitting?
Possible float is stuck in carb.
On slope it is possible that pick up is out of the fuel. Add maybe five gallons of fuel.
