I start looking for gas at 150 miles that gives me plenty of time to pick and choose where I get my gas. On long trips I fill up more often. I don't want to hit reserve 75 miles from the nearest open gas station.

You should not leave the petcock on prime. If you do this and something leaks you'll wake up one morning with several gallons of gasoline on the garage floor. Been there done that with my Yamaha. It ain't fun. You could all so flood your engine if the needle valve gets stuck. If the valve leaks bad you migh wind up with gasoline in you oil.
