How many times around should the gas shut off turn before stopping? I feel like I turn and turn and it doesn’t stop. I think it’s broke but at least stuck on the ON position. I don’t think I can turn the fuel off though. Should I drain fuel and replace the fuel shutoff or is 10+ turns normal?

Maybe 6 max.

Depends on whose cutoff it is, seems like the old metal handled ones were about 6-7, the newer plastic handled ones are less. Real easy to over tighten the plastic ones. I’d say it’s time for a new cutoff, and a great time to rinse all the junk from the tank

Yes, hard to find the the brass/metal originals, but they all should bottom after a few (4,5,6,7) turns.
