HRX AND HRR HARD TO TURN FUEL SHUT OFF VALVES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HARRY MOWER]

Is this a common problem with honda mowers ? i have both models and one is new for this year and other is 3 years old and both have awful sticky fuel shut off valves ! one even snapped and broke from trying to shut off and now dangles . this is poor quality in my book . I mean it's as if its stuck in place . anyone knows how to get these to free up ? thanks
