Dang, got it wrong again!  Thanks for correcting it.  

I meant to put a comment about your web page, but forgot it.  Don't you have 
something up there about this system, complete with pictures?

Off again Nolan...the run-on valve switches the 
'atmosphere' port at the bottom of the canister
to the intake vacuum when you turn off the key.
The sudden application of vacuum to the canister 
also applies the vac. to the float bowls stopping
the gas from flowing into the carbs.
You effectively end up with the same vac on both sides
of the float bowl so no gas flows (vac through carb throat
= vac in float  chamber.
