Hi Mike CA.. A few thoughts. In your earlier post you didn't say exactly where it was leaking. So, some people figured it was not shutting off completly, others probably thought it was leaking out around the stem of the shut off lever and still others thought it was leaking out over the top of the bowl. If gas was leaking out around the stem of the shut off lever then the suggestion to tighten the gland nut made sense as did the suggestion to put more packing behind the gland nut. But, since your problem is that the shut off valve does not shut off, those other suggestions probably won't help. It that a pited area I see on your valve tip? I see the circlular ring, but at about the 12 O'clock position on the tip it looks like a pitted grove. Is it deep enough that your fingernail can feel it? If so, then that spot could be letting the gas escape. You might be able to polish it out.
