QuestionLet me explain my problem. I have a riding lawn mower with a 17HP Briggs motor and sometimes when I finish mowing the fuel tank empties into the carburetor eventually finding it's way into the oil. It is a gravity fed fuel system. I assume the float is sticking open. It did it once so I dismantled the carburator and cleaned it and it worked for two months then it happened again. Nothing looks wrong with it. Anyway what I would like is something that automatically shuts the fuel off when you kill the motor. Any thoughts on something that would do that or another way to fix it?

My question is not in the repair category but you may be able to help. I am looking for a in-line fuel shut off valve for a small Briggs motor. What I want is an electrical valve that opens automatically upon recieving electrical current. Also it would automatically close when power is off. This is not a factory part, just something I want to add. Have you seen such a product? Where might I find one?
Answer -
Obviously a server is not working somewhere...I thought something was up when I didn't receive any questions.
I have seen them but not sure where to find them. I'd bet there expensive.
Does it have to be electric?
Let me know.

AnswerA manual inline valve is the cheapest way to go but I admit I'd like an electric solenoid for automation and wife proofing.
I found one that might work...check the site.
