Fuel cock
The fuel cock supplies fuel from the
tank to the carburetors while also filter-
ing it.
The fuel cock lever positions are ex-
plained as follows and shown in the il-
lustrations.
ON
With the fuel cock lever in this position,
fuel flows to the carburetors when the
engine is running. Turn the fuel cock le-
ver to this position when starting the
engine and riding.
RES
This indicates reserve. With the fuel
cock lever in this position, the fuel re-
serve is made available. Quickly turn
the fuel cock lever to this position if you
run out of fuel while riding, otherwise
the engine may stall and will have to be
primed (see “PRI”). After turning the
fuel cock lever to “RES”, refuel as soon
as possible and be sure to turn the fuel
cock lever back to “ON”! PRI
This indicates prime. With the fuel cock
lever in this position, the engine can be
“primed”. Turn the fuel cock lever to
this position when the engine has been
allowed to run out of fuel. This sends
fuel directly to the carburetors, which
will make starting easier. After the en-
gine has started, be sure to turn the le-
ver to “ON” (or “RES” if you have not
refueled yet).
