Default RE: fuel shutoff valve

Should be

Down= ON
Up= Reserve
Sideways=Off


Should be though. That's how my 91 F2 is set up

on the hurricane or 87-90, sideways is off, up is ON, and down is Reserve.

there is a small divider in the valve that when the fuel reaches a certain point in the ON position, no more fuel will flow. so, when you turn the **** down, it causes the remaining fuel in the tank to drain and that's how it keeps its reserve.
