Title: pics please.

could someone snap me a closeup of the fuel petcock on their bike?  i think someone spun the little metal ring with the indicators around 180 degress because when i set the petcock to what i think is "on", i get a puddle of gas on the floor, which would lead me to believe that it is really "pri" that it's set to.  either that or someone screwed up the hoses.  

my bike is a mess.  i wish i had waited for a better one.  note to self: don't buy crap off of ebay anymore.

yeah, that helps.  thanks.  if i can make it out right (pri on top, then fuel, then on, then res, clockwise), it would seem that the metal piece was in fact rotated 180.

thanks.

This one (from my Float Height Check (http://www.bbburma.net/FloatHeight.htm) page) may be a little more clear:
