How do I operate the petcocks on my motorcycle?
Hey. I have an 82 Yamaha with gravity fed petcocks (fuel valves) on both sides of the fuel tank. They are both different manufactures (one old, one new). I can't seem to figure out where to set the knob to reliably fuel the engine. There is no "on" setting, just "Off""Res" and "PR". I'm guessing PR stands for primary, meaning main fuel supply. But when I point the little arrow at PR, the engine wont start. With some fiddling I can get the engine going, but I have no idea If I am pulling fuel from the main tank or the reserves or what. Can someone tell me how to correctly operate these things?Thanks, JB
