So your needle and or seats can be set to shut off the flow of fuel from your petcock?

The floats in the bowls rise, pushing against the needles to a maximum point where they seal in their respective seats, stopping any further flow of gas. Certainly other areas of the system can fail (bowl gasket, hoses, o-rings, float, etc) but assuming all is working properly then yes, the needle and seat will stop the continuous flow of gas.

I can see where you should be correct if the bike is on the center stand but not on the side stand.sigpic

I wanted to take a minute to thank ALL that responded to my thread. I feel alot more educated now and really appreciate the info.
Bass, thanks for the link I have printed it off. As usual your links are invaluable!
Steve, thanks again for your suggestions but I'm not sure why to block the front tire??
I feel stupid for asking for the help I did however I do feel better about asking it cause of what I have learned if that makes sense LOL. I also know there are probably others on here that may not know how to store for the winter as well so I'm sure this helped them out also. As I was once told, there are no stupid questions just stupid people that ask them
. Just kidding
Thanks again!Comment
