    Posted: 13 Sep 2011 at 7:57pm
I have a replacement starter tank for my unstyled WC that I bought quite a while ago. I had a NOS cap for it but it's gone AWOL over time. But the reason I haven't put it on before now is I need a shut off valve, and to know how the line was run. The shut off on the main tank has a plug opposite from where the fuel line fitting is, was that for the starter tank line?
 
Can anyone tell me where to look for a shut off valve?

Mine has a Zenith carburator and there is a fitting on the front for the starter tank line.   The connection for the main tank is on the back side.   As for the valve I don't know.
Maximum use of available resources!

Our 38WC  is set up the same way as yours under the main tank but also has the carburetor inlet fitting as posted by JW.  The WCs I have seem plumbed at shows went from the tank to the carb as JW suggests. Hard to tell how things have been messed with over the years but I always wondered why the extra fitting under the main tank, it does look factory??  There are several sources for that cap, I am sure Norm Mienert has them. It seems that every swap meet I go to there is somebody with a box of NOS caps, have even seen boxes of the soldered on part that the cap crews on to NOS.

Just a thought, the extra connection at the sediment bowl on the fuel tank may have started with the 34 WC's. Many had a hood from earlier production Waukeshaw's with the starter tank on the right rear of the hood. Instead of running 2 lines to the carb, they may have connected the 2 supplies in front of the sediment bowl.

Finished mounting the starting tank.
It had a plug in the carb.
 
I'm not happy with this 1/4 turn valve but I couldn't find a better one locally and the Ace Hardware guy swears this is ok for fuel.
 
I needed an 18" line, of course I could only get a 12" or a 20", so I had to do some creative bending to deal with the excess. An 18" line would have had one 90% radius bend. I still have to take the tank off and paint it and I'm going to use thread sealer on the valve and fittings in the bottom of the tank.

The cap is around. I got one from a JD90 skidloader. Oliver used them as well.
