When I give it gas to my motorcycle the engine turns off?
Dirty Air Filter. As the air filter cleans the air entering the carburetor, it will eventually become dirty or clogged and may prevent the proper amount of air from mixing with the fuel, causing your engine to stall.
Should the fuel valve be on or off?
Most small gas engines have a fuel valve that should be shut off by when the engine is not in use. Fuel shut-off becomes important when moving equipment as vibration can cause the carburetor needle valve to move allowing fuel to trickle into the carburetor, the float chamber and down the intake valve.
Why is the fuel petcock valve turned off on a motorcycle?
fuel injection has eliminated the use of carburetors and floats to control fuel flow. The primary reason for shutting off the fuel is safety. On a motorcycle the fuel tank is directly above the engine. If fuel were to leak it would drip directly on the hot engine.
Why is the fuel valve important on small gas engines?
Not only does shutting off the fuel valve prevent the engine from flooding while being transported, it prevents flooding because of contamination in the float valve, and extends the life of the float valve by decreasing pressure on it.
When to shut off fuel valve in Honda air compressor?
Like the Honda engines used in VMAC G30 Gas Drive Air Compressors, Subaru and Kohler engines used in other air compressor brands state in their literature that fuel valves should be shut off when not in use, including during transport. VMAC G30 Gas Drive Air Compressors are powered by Honda’s GX390 air cooled 4-stroke engine .
How does the fuel shut off valve work?
The fuel shut off has three positions run,reserve and off. The difference between run and reserve is the length of the fuel delivery tube that brings fuel out of the tank. The “normal” run tube rises about 35mm from the bottom of the tank. This means that when it stops delivering fuel approx 35mm of fuel left in the tank.

Why do you shut off the fuel tank on a motorcycle?
The primary reason for shutting off the fuel is safety. On a motorcycle the fuel tank is directly above the engine. If fuel were to leak it would drip directly on the hot engine. This along with the fact that most motorcycles use a rubber supply hose that is exposed to the engine heat and the resulting decomposition.
