It flows on Prime, with the lever turned back to the rear, forward is reserve, down is on, there is no OFF position.

Reply #4 - 12/31/08 at 01:44:15 When Im running down the road & I feel it buck & coff as it runs outta gas, I rach down & pull it to prime, then after it catches I either swing it to reserve or just head for the station.

There is no "off". In the "ON" position, when the engine is running, the vacuum automatically opens the valve, and allows fuel. "PRI" allows fuel without the engine running.

Reply #6 - 12/31/08 at 16:38:09 Ok plain and simple Sitting on the bike (Facing forward). Up and down is on. (Vacume opens the flow) The turn the lever clock wise it is Res (I should stop and get fuel) Counter clock wise Pri (I did not stop and get fuel so I had to push it to the station, now let me fill the bowl.)

Reply #7 - 12/31/08 at 16:55:34 Ok folks..... his interesting and possible probelm comment was that gas flowed in reserve. Rockamn, Please verify, are you saying with tank off, you can get gas to flow in RES position????????????? The porper operating LS650 petcock, with no vacuum, gas should only flow on prime (PRI).

I get it now.....the vacuum causes the flow.
What I was saying, I thought there would be an off switch.....when I took the tank off to airbrush it, I though there was an off button.
that's why I got confused when no gas was coming out on the on postion.

Thanks again guys.......noe, I had my birthday yesterday......and my head is ringing!! sleepy time!!
Hope everyone had a great new years eve day!!!! Grin
