No, actually it should be set to "on" at all times. When you are riding and the bike starts to sputter like its out of gas (it is), switch it to "res" (reserve). That will give you .9 gal of gas to get to a gas station. If you run it completely out of gas after that (or drain the carbs while working on it) THEN you use the Pri setting. Prime is a free flow non restricted stream of gas .. mainly to fill the carbs with gas after you've emptied them.
If you need ot put it on Pri to start it, then something else is wrong. Possibly that valve is bad within the switch.
You say you bought this used ..... how long has it sit since last ridden??
