Default Petcock question

Hi all,
My bike is missing the plastic **** for the petcock. it still works, but you have to use pliers to adjust it. I plan to fab a **** rather than buy a new one. My question is at what position is reserve, on, and off if applicable. Pictures would be great!
Thanks

Straight up (or fully counter-clockwise) is on, horizontal is off, and straight down (fully clockwise) is reserve. Sorry I don't have a pic of it I don't think.

Smile petcock question

hey bro, I had the same question when i first got my bike. Taking off the side panel you might be able to see the words off, on and reserve (inscribed) on the metal outer face of the petcock and in the positions that tahoerider gave you.

Thanks. I acutally noticed that after. There was so much crud on the petcock that I couldn't see the wording. After a pressure wash, it became apparent. I gotta get on fabing a **** before I become TOO complacent.
