Petcock problem :O

Rick · 12-08-2008, 06:02 PM

I have run out of gas a couple of times (most recently today

), and both times when I switch to reserve it doesn't appear to be getting any more fuel. Today when I ran out I reached down and flipped it to reserve before the bike stalled hoping that it would just keep running, but it stalled and I couldn't get it started again until I filled the tank. I am sure that the petcock is pointing in the correct direction (I've read on here several times about the confusing pointer on the petcock). Also, once I put fuel in it, it runs fine with the petcock on either the "on" or "reserve" settings, so the petcock appears to be operating correctly. Any ideas? :??:
