A4 starting

Beasutiful weekend.Cold fron came through Saturday. Did not get out as winds would have been "uncomfortable" according to the wife. For me I'd just as soon reef down and go but there was plenty to do on teh boat in the slip. Engine is faithful everytime I start it. I was wondering about putting a solenoid valve in the fuel line. This would do the same thing as manually shutting off the tank valve except it might be better aas I could put it in farther down the line. Ideas of where to put it? Between the racor and the tank? Between the Racor and the fuel pump. Between the fuel pum and the carb?If there is a tendency for the boat to "leak back" to the tank while sailing(one theory) where would be the best place? Aftwer work today might be a chance to get out for a short sail as wether is supposed to be nice and wind is supposed to be out of SW which will allow for ssailing back to slip if engine does present a problem. If so, I will sail with fuel valve off and see if that helps.

Any ideas what to do for posting photos. I tried and even after the resize it will not upload.
