My bike looses power in the ON position but if i switch the petcock to PRIME it seems to run okay. Is it alright to keep it on PRIME all the time?
Short answer: Yes ... usually.
Extra tip: You may want to turn it back to ON when you turn the bike OFF.
For more info, do a search on "fuel starvation".
I Have to run on prime all the time :) I can leave it on prime mostly. But if I have a full tank of gas the pressure is too much I guess and the carbs will overflow. So most times I just put it on "on" witch is acctually "off" :) when the bike isnt running :thumb:
