FUEL VALVE LEVER
The fuel valve opens and closes the passage between the fuel tank
and the carburetor.
The fuel valve lever must be in the ON position for the engine to run.
When the engine is not in use, leave the fuel valve lever in the OFF
position to prevent carburetor flooding and to reduce the possibility of
fuel leakage.
