Parking on a slope should not cause the fuel to run downhill (the tank is much lower than the top of the engine) enough to reach the engine.
If your 240 is has a carb, the float could be jammed, dirt in the bowl or needle/seat dirty or worn. Parking on an angle may help those symptoms and aid starting.
You'll need to fix this since an adequate slope is not always easy to find.
