Bing honking shutoff

I'm looking for a small fuel shut off for my truck. I like the looks of this one but I don't want something cheap.

The shutoff I have now is made in china and the **** is big as a softball. I smashed my knee against it the other day and decided it's going, I need something smaller.

Bannerd I bought one at a junk shop a couple of weeks ago made by M-M tractor company. Chrome T handle that when you pull it and twist it 1/4 turn it locks. It looks good and it's H-D. Search old tractor stuff, I think Moline has been out of business many years but stuff is still out there. Good luck!

Cseby that one looks just about like mine except the chrome. Good to have that info for future references. Price is right too for the quality.

hay,you know what? once again i'm confused.the throttle cables are twist lock.the fuel shut off cables are just a pull cable.and yes,the throttle cables are just as good as the fuel shut off cables.

A piece of baling twine should should do just fine.

I got a really nice one from Grainger. I couldn't mount it the way I wanted it though, otherwise it makes noise.

How about using a vacuum operated choke pull off? Connected to the vacuum pump, like an older Mercedes?

So you twist it and it locks?

Thats what I used. Painted it black.

How do you all connect them to the pump lever though?
