Any one else have their fuel shut off valve fail? Since we had about 2 feet of snow all winter so I shut the fuel valve off and attempted to drain my float bowl. Well after I drained about a cup out of the bowl that only holds about a table spoon I realized my fuel valve wasn't shutting off. I'm going to install a new one this weekend but I have to say after looking at the replacement part it looks cheaply made.

 

i haven't had one fail, but every quad i got or ever had or that i've worked on, all look like cheap valves. i am pretty careful with the valves. because for as cheap looking as they are, they want a mint, my firstborn, my legs, and a couple of other items for a new one. go figure????

 

I got the replacement OEM valve for $17.00 at cheap cycle parts. I highly recommend them. Great prices and usually pretty decent delivery times.

 

if you use them they will last, I turn mine off whenever atv is gonna sit for more than an hour or two, will also prevent needle and seat in carb from wearing out as quickly,

 

ditto. i stroke the valves quite often like you. if it's gonna sit for an hour or more, i block the valves........

 

its always good to move the shut off vlave once in awhile just keep it freed up and doesn't get stuck in one place.
