    That's ok just remember to turn the petcock back to on when you finish your ride, or you could have some flooding problems.

    Yes you can, but you won't have vacuum shut off when you shut it down. You will run the risk of having fuel trickling down into the engine oil if the float needles don't do their job.
    Mine had a problem with fuel running after I shut it down once in awhile and it was erratic and I didn't feel like tearing it apart and rebuilding it. I just used a plastic inline shut off valve I bought at a small engine shop. There is just enough room to fit one between the tank and the carbs.
