It's not a good idea to use the fuel tap to turn off the mower, which is why I don't let any 2 stroke run out of fuel if I can help it. I always slip off the snorkel from the throttle and filter assembly and block it with my hand if the cut out isn't working.

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
