Hello,

How long after shutting off the fuel via the tap should the engine run? In both the on and off positions the engine seems to keep running!


Any ideas please?

Thank you.

if it has a brass tube, probably a split in it allowing fuel in.

I always reach down and turn off the tap as im approaching my house so all the fuel burnt off quickly after 15 seconds on arrival, my wife hates the smell of fuel and i keep the PX in the side lean too next to the washing machine ROFL emoticon
