If you elect not to have the fuel cut-off valve, don't park nose up on a
steep hill with a full tank, or you will have an engine with liquid fuel
that won't turn over.  If you make it turn over, you will then have bent
con-rods.  These valves were fitted at least in part in response to wrecked
engines for this reason.
Luckily in our case, my father didn't try bump-starting it, but just ran it
back onto level ground and it dried out.
