Yep, poor guy can't get his bike not to run...
Your bike is a true Honda, no doubt about that..

Sorry I couldn't help you out more. Apparently I'm not the best with things like this.

You should pry a little more on Steve. I hear he's the resident **** and petcock expert. Apparently he's seen all kinds...

 

it will run in the on or res position--i will try my 1991 in the off position (on thurday)and see what happens--then i will let you know

 

Swisherred , are you sure the tap is actually turning the post , maybe if the plastic tap that you turn is knackered , it might just be sliding over the post?

 

yep....works in all positions, Im sure its turning the post too...it only goes to the 3 positions and clicks on each of them...have no idea on this one, but am not going to take it apart to see...if it works I will leave it alone for now....I know when i unplug the fuel line no gas flows unless you pull a vacuum on the other line...so i know its not going to flood the carbs over sitting.

 

Yeah dont start fixin things that work recipe for disaster

 

it will run when the switch is in the off position (but the on position is normal because when you run out of fuel you can switch to res and it will start up again until res runs out.----that's just the way it is

 

*****i ran my bike today with the switch in the off position and it will stop running after about 5 min.--so the switch do have a function*****
