[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 108925, member: 2708"] The spring loaded auto valves have destroyed a lot of engines on the Norton site. Maybe the Conway's unit is better than those made for Nortons. There are a number of manual tap with ignition cut out switches available. One user noticed that the switch had failed and was not cutting the ignition with the oil turned off! Luckily he noticed this and corrected it before any damage occurred. I couldn't trust either of those solutions and have a wetsumper with a new 2 start oil pump in place. In checking around, others had the same issue with new 2 start pumps. So I came up with this. The ignition key is the handle for the valve. When the valve is off, the key can't be removed from it. Turn the valve on and the key comes out, sort of like those shopping carts that demand a quarter to unlock from the stack. I just have 1 key for regular use, plus a spare taped on in a hidden location, in case I lose the regular key.
