ABSTRACT:
A device is used to control the passage of fuel from a fuel tank to an engine. The device comprises a body including a chamber. An inlet member is connected to the body and has an inlet passageway for placing the fuel tank in fluid communication with the chamber. An outlet member is connected to the body and has an outlet passageway for placing the chamber in fluid communication with the motorcycle engine. An element is disposed within the body and movable between a position placing the inlet passageway in fluid communication with the chamber and a position preventing fluid communication between the inlet passageway and the chamber. A lock mechanism is used to secure the element in the position preventing fluid communication between the inlet passageway and chamber to prevent movement of the element to the position placing the inlet passageway in fluid communication with the chamber. Apparatus is disposed within the body for connecting the lock mechanism to the element to move the element when the lock mechanism moves and to prevent movement of the element until the lock mechanism moves.
