I was out practicing my Ercoupe taxi skills today since I am not checked out 
yet to fly (tomorrow the CFI is scheduled).  Sure was tempting to just make a 
circuit or two without a BFR or checkout when nobody was really watching.
Anyhow, I turned on the fuel to start, turned it off when I was at the fuel 
pumps refueling, back on to start again, the valve acted quite normal.  When I 
got back to the hangar, the darned fuel valve would not shut off!  It seems to 
be locked in the on position, I used a lot of force even, still no turn off!  
Has anyone else had such a problem with the fuel shutoff valve?
