Default Re: Fuel Shut Off Valve

All of the aftermarket shut off valves that I have ever used leaked or didn't completely shut off the fuel to the carburetor, after a while. I'm using a used original on my roadster and it does cut off the gas to the carbs but will have gas residue on the cut off handle if it sits over time.

If Purdy, Tom and HL say it, it's got to be true !
