Draining the bowl was a minor mistake. With Stabil in the gas, that is not necessary. If you really want to drain the bowl, do it in the spring before starting.
PRIme is the same as Reserve.....without the automatic shut off. |
Easy, I think you just had a blonde moment. Prime is not the same as reserve. Both On and reserve are opened by the engine vacuum valve built into the petcock. This allows you to safely park the bike while in either position. Prime bypasses the vacuum portion of the petcock and gravity feeds fuel to the carb.
