[QUOTE="brdgbldr, post: 122311, member: 7474"] The fuel tank is above the carb. That means that there is always fuel pressure, from gravity, pushing into the carb. When my fuel shutoff failed, and the machine sat idle for a couple of weeks, I noticed, when checking the oil, that the level had risen. Upon closer inspection there was fuel in the engine oil. If I had not noticed this before starting the machine, at best I would have killed the engine, at worst a fire would have destroyed the machine. [/QUOTE]
