[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 208134, member: 98"] Ok now for the down side ....this concern everyone that uses DFT carbs ....ok the pumbing for the off idle and idle circuit draws in from bowl at around half full ...and goes as low as the mix screw opening..above that is the off idle circuit holes there three of those and above that is an air bleed hole that opens in barrel of primary ...this is all below where the fuel shut off solenoid goes ...seems back in the day people were saying this was not needed ..it was one of the first things I got rid of ..actually think I took it apart for some reason ...don’t have one now ....after really going through the carb lately ..this fuel shut off is a very needed part for this carb period ...when it’s not in there it’s a strait shipon into the motor till the gas falls to the idle circuit feed in bowl ...might not mean much on a car ..but on a small oldwing motor this is not good ...on my bike this can cause flooded plugs and gas in motor deal ...not good at all ... I need one bad ...so far can’t find one ...my only fix to this is to put a on off switch in electric fuel pump so I can shut it off and run the the bowl down till it quits running ...if anyone has one of these fuel shut off valves they don’t need I’d love to have one ...so I’ve this job to do also ...a manual fuel pump switch I need to install ..seems like a good thing to have anyway ...I’m assuming a switch on the ground side or a connection that can be pulled apart will also work short term .... :thanks: [/QUOTE]
