Fuel cock
The 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.
1. Arrow mark positioned over ÒRESÓ
RES
This stands for ÒreserveÓ. If you are
running out of fuel while riding with the
fuel cock in the ÒONÓ position, quickly
turn the lever to this position. Other-
wise the engine may die and will have
to be primed (see ÒPRIÓ below). After
turning the lever to ÒRESÓ, fill the tank
at the first opportunity and be sure to
set the fuel cock back to ÒONÓ!
1. Arrow mark positioned over ÒPRIÓ
PRI
This stands for ÒprimeÓ. If the engine
has been allowed to run out of fuel, turn
the lever to the ÒPRIÓ position to send
fuel directly to the carburetors. This will
make starting easier. However, be sure
to turn the lever to the ÒONÓ position (or
ÒRESÓ if you have not refuelled yet) af-
ter the engine has started.
