Opened barn door and smelled gas. Hadn't used Jubilee in about 2 weeks. The gas tank was empty. I forgot to turn gas off.

I have a backhoe that came from factory with a gas solenoid. I've installed gas solenoids on 2 lawn mowers that I couldn't make stop leaning.

Marvel carb leaked more gas than it cost me to buy solenoid valve off ebay and the brass fittings I purchased at Lowes.

I used Jubilee to mow an acre today. Worked like a champ.

I don't know why camera rotated pic 90 degrees to the left. I mounted the solenoid next to the air breather. The gray is the hood. The nut on top of solenoid is next to the bottom of gas tank.

Licky the gas leaked onto the ground instead of into the engine and crankcase. I had one do that once.

Lucky.

That happened on a briggs engine, gas got in the crankcase with oil. I couldn't fix carb, this was the next best thing.

I think I lost about 8-10 gallons. Gas valve and fittings under $20
