First I do not know the specific term for this,,, The glass fuel bowl is attached to a fuel shut off system that I think oil lines go to it in order for the oil pressure to open the fuel line to the Carb. We replaced the fuel shut off system and on the top is a knurled knob that can be turned either way. But when it is turned down it restricts some movemant of a plunger inside the fuel system and stops fuel flow. Is there some adjustment position for the knob? or what is it for anyway? We found out that with the know turned all the way up fuel would flow and when it came in the box it was turned down and we could not get any fuel flow to the carb. We did some head scratching and pulling hair and ended up turning the knob all the way up and now we have a running engine.
Im making a guess but I think it is for shutting off fuel for long term storage or working on the carb/fuel lines without draining the tank. We have no previous experience on a JD tractor so it is all new to us "City Boys (grin)"
