Fuel cock
The fuel cock supplies fuel from the fuel tank to the
carburetor.
The fuel cock has three positions.
OFF: With the lever in this position fuel will not
flow. Always turn the lever to this position
when the engine is not running.
ON: With the lever in this position, fuel flows to
the carburetor. Normal riding is done with
the lever in this position.
RES: This indicates reserve. If you run out of fuel
while riding, turn the lever to this position.
THEN FILL THE FUEL TANK AT THE
FIRST OPPORTUNITY. After refuelling, re-
turn the fuel cock lever to the “ON” position.
