fuel shut off vaalve

henryv11 · Apr 21, 2016

On My M sediment bowl when I turn the fuel shutoff valve in it goes until lts tight 2 or so turns but will not stop the fuel flow. Will I have to drain the tank loosen the packing nut and unscrew the valve to see what is wrong?
Thank you

may only need dirt cleaned out, you'll know when you take it out and apart

Do you see trash in the sediment bowl?
Most of the times a small speck of dirt or a tiny sliver of trash gets lodge under the seat.

Mite ned to scew the handle out completely and refinish the ball end. They can get a mark on the ball end and not seat good when shut off ive done it a couple of times or just replace the whole sediment assy.

I just did a 300. It can get messy. I did it outside. I used a brass fitting with a hose barb that fits where the fuel line comes out of the sediment bowl to go to the carb. I used a 4' piece of fuel line to drain the gas into a 5 gallon can. The new sediment bowl rubber gasket leaked and I replaced it with a homemade cork one. Good luck....
