I was wondering about the same thing, I've seen in-line shutoffs, and have been
considering putting some of those in in series.

The originals on my 70 Ambo are seeping a bit and I was wondering what others have done to combat this cantankerous issue. By the way....does standard plumbing thread tape hold up against gasoline? On my 69 Ambo I have installed the newer type (from Convert etc...) petcocks with an adapter available from Moto International. Works perfectly except the petcock comes down too far on the left side and gets in the way of the throttle cable coming out from the top of the carb. Right side is ok though. I was thinking of running an adapter 90degrees and bringing the petcock further back. The pitch on these threads are 12x 1.0 right? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
