Unhappy Screw won't start on a hill

About 6 times now, my Screw is totally dead if I park it in my driveway. Doesn't matter how its facing or if on gas or propane. Its starved for gas. I have to put it in neutral and coast down the driveway and leave it for a few minutes, then pump it and hold down the gas pedal and it will barely start.

Taking it the dealer tomarrow. When I was telling them about it, the repairman finished my sentence about it acting out of gas. I asked if other people had the same problem and he said yes.

Any of you have this happen?

Do you have a remote start?

I had a remote start on my old truck and it wouldn't start on an incline because of the mercury switch under my hood which kept the motor from starting if the hood was up. When I parked on a hill it would make the alarm think the hood was open and prevent the motor from starting.

Good idea, but it turned out to be a bad battery cell. They jacked the back of the truck up at the dealer, and it didn't turn over like it should of. Even though no dash lights came on, they tested the amps at cranking and it went down to zero.
I now have a new battery and the truck starts a lot quicker.
