Fuel cockThe fuel cock supplies fuel from the
tank to the carburetors while also filter-
ing it.
The fuel cock has three positions,
which should be set as illustrated.
ON
With the fuel cock in this position, fuel
flows to the carburetors when the en-
gine is running. Set the fuel cock to this
position when starting the engine and
for riding.RES
This stands for “reserve”. If you are
running out of fuel while riding with the
fuel cock in the “ON” position, quickly
turn the lever to this position. Other-
wise the engine may die and will have
to be primed (see “PRI” below). After
turning the lever to “RES”, fill the tank
at the first opportunity and be sure to
set the fuel cock back to “ON”! Recommended fuel:
