    Thanks for the tips fellas. I will try to lap the shut-off valve but am not sure how to do it. I have lapped the needle and seat but they are easy to do. The seat on the shut-off valve is deep inside and I’m not sure what compound to use. Any suggestions? I was not planning to drain the tank after each use because I was planning to use this motor on a regular basis all summer. At least stopping the fuel at the shut-off valve seems to be the best option. Then, I would only have to be concerned with the fuel in the float bowl. Thanks again!
