I winterized a '66 Wildcat for a friend yesterday. The boat has had a number of modifications over the years, including a new engine. When I was changing the water seperating fuel filter, the gas just continued to run out of the fuel line. Is there a shut off somewhere?

just pinch of the hose if it is rubber and it will stop.

glad you realized I meant off and not of, refreshing that someone can understand the content and not focus on a typo.

Most of the early 60's have a shut off on the hard line just before the motor mount.
