Re: gas tank lever position
We all know it appears ass backwards, but move on.
Also, Easy is right about the vacuum hose. Your GZ will not run with it disconnected as vacuum engine opens the valve. It also will run like shit if it has any vacuum leak in this hose. :retard: :whistle: :neener:

Re: gas tank lever position
For what its worth, the petcock on my Kawasaki operates just like the GZ250.
To tell you how stupid the previous owner was, he told me that the 3 o'clock position on the petcock was the off position. Wanna guess what it really was? Yup, the PRIME position. Awesome. |

If you look ,carefully, at the drawing in section 2-12, you'll see that it describes the action of the petcock in "prime". It shows the long side pointing down to prime. There is also a little arrow on the long side, to show that that is the correct side to point to whatever you pick.

Re: gas tank lever position
There is a misprint in which post? About the correct position of the lever on the petcock? WRONG!!!
For the last time, for you or anyone else who asks --- The LONG end of the lever points to the direction of what you want, if you want in on the RUN position, it points FORWARD, if you want it on RESERVE it points to the REAR , NO MISPRINT. Look for yourself on page 7 in the owner's manual posted on here, can't be any plainer than that. But you can keep it in whatever position you want, it's your bike. Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Re: gas tank lever position
I once bought some herbal sleeping tablets called " nightol". On the packet it said "warning, may cause drowsiness" (perfectly true!)
