After reading the previous posts , I have to add my experience about carb shut offs. My carbs also do not leak gas. I never shut the gas off on my "770" carb. That is , never until a year and one half ago. I keep my "770" in the shop.If I'm going to be out in my shop for a couple days or so in the winter , I keep the fire going in the stove. About a year and a half ago , late fall , before I had added isopropyl to my gas , ice formed in the carb bowl. The ice crushed my float. When the temp warmed up a little , I lost a full tank of gas on the floor. The fumes were very strong. Good thing the fire wasn't going then! If so , I wouldn't have a shop today. Now , if I'm going to have a fire in the stove , I shut my gas off. Or , park the tractor out side , which I don't like doing. So , in my opinion , even if the carb doesn't leak gas , shutting off the gas is not a bad idea.
