Claim:
A shut-off valve for a two-cycle internal combustion engine having a fuel supply line and an oil supply line, the shut-off valve comprising: a valve body having a first inlet passage in fluid communication with the fuel supply line, a second inlet passage in fluid communication with the oil supply line, a first outlet passage and a second outlet passage; a first valve ball having a passage therethrough and being rotatable between: a first valve open position wherein the first valve ball passage is in fluid communication with the first inlet passage and the first outlet passage; and a first valve closed position wherein the first valve ball passage is out of fluid communication with the first inlet passage and the first outlet passage; a second valve ball having a passage therethrough and being rotatable between: a second valve open position wherein the second valve ball passage is in fluid communication with the second inlet passage and the second outlet passage; and a second valve closed position wherein the second valve ball passage is out of fluid communication with the second inlet passage and the second outlet passage; a shaft coupled between the first valve ball and the second valve ball so that, when the shaft is rotated between a first shaft position and a second shaft position, the first valve ball rotates between the first valve open position and the first valve closed position and the second valve ball rotates between the second valve open position and the second valve closed position; and a handle coupled to the shaft to rotate the shaft between the first shaft position and the second shaft position.
