Having problems with my shut off failing and leaking fuel into carb/engine when its off for long periods.
The original one was broken so I put one that fit dash ok but I don't trust anymore.
What do you recommend? I did not find any old threads on this subject.

All I have is a simple in-line valve right up next to the gas tank. Picked it up at O'Reillys for a few dollars. I just shut it off and let the machine idle itself out of fuel when I want to store it; I haven't had any problems so far. Not sure if you'll be able to put one in in an easily accessible place on your machine though.
I've got several from Amazon.com, they are standard in line, plastic, fuel cut offs made for B&S, Kohler, etc., I think I get 10 for $10 w/shipping. They work fine for amphib atvs.
Thanks for replies, I could not find any other dash types so I put a new same kind in and put one of those inline valves you guys speak of at back near engine to shut of when it sits for a long time.
I am wondering if I just didn't turn off all the way because old one test just fine on bench.
I had the same valve on my racer last year and it let fuel through no matter what way I turned it. I ended up putting another one on. I guess they are just cheap and some work and some don't.
Yeah there cheap, I would rather pay more and get good parts any day.Quote:
