fuel tap not closing?

was just about to swap my carb but when I tried to drain the fuel pipe & bowl by running the engine it wouldn't die. I've taken it round the block a couple of times & it seems the fuel tap is not shutting off the supply in the closed position. it was fine a few days ago when I had to fill up after going onto reserve. any tips on what might be wrong - is it new tap time or is there an easy fix?

its a PX non-lube

Does it still feel attatched?
The R clip may have broken holding the arm on.
Tank out time.
