The 16950 fuel valve is a ball type fuel shutoff valve for small engines. A black body carries the white flip lever, two barbed hose ports for the fuel lines, a bottom port that fits the tank outlet, and a mounting tab that bolts to the tank or frame. Turn the lever to open or close the flow, so fuel can be cut before maintenance or storage. It is the straight fix when the valve will not shut off, the lever slips, or the body cracks. For engine repair crews and parts sellers, compare it with the old part before mounting, since 16950 family variants are not always interchangeable.

 FAQ 

Q1: What does the 16950 fuel valve do?

It is the fuel shutoff switch for the engine fuel line. Turn the white lever to open or close the flow, cutting fuel before maintenance or storage.

Q2: Will it fit my engine?

The 16950 name covers several variants. Compare the barbs, the mounting hole and the body shape with your old valve, or send a photo to confirm the fit.

Q3: Why is fuel still flowing with the valve closed?

A worn ball seal or a stuck lever lets fuel pass. Replace the whole valve instead of relying on cleaning, since it is a safety item.
