a multi - position fuel valve includes a main body having an enclosed chamber with a number of inlet ports and an outlet port and associated seats in the chamber . disposed inside the chamber is a revolving rotor that is connected to a selector handle located outside the chamber . the rotor provides a possible passageway between each of the inlet ports and the outlet port . the handle can rotate a maximum 180 degrees , and the valve has a pair of inlet sections and three - positions with an “ off ” position approximately midway between the other two positions . a pair of balls are positioned in the rotor and lodge in the plurality of seats or elsewhere in the chamber . when this occurs a certain portion of the passageway is cut off meaning there is no fluid flow from at least one of inlet ports through the outlet port . a compression spring with opposing ends bearing against the balls maintains the balls lodged in the seats , and releasably fixes the position of the rotor and handle . the valve further has a number of swiveling extension sections connected to the ports for inlet or outlet hoses , such that the valve can be mounted remote from the fuel supply and / or carburetor and connecting hosed routed in most any direction .
