Fuel Valve - Suzuki JR50 Owner's Manual

FUEL VALVE

This motorcycle has a manually
operated fuel valve. There are two
positions: "ON" and "OFF."
"ON" position
The normal operating position for
the fuel valve is in the "ON" posi-
tion. In this position, fuel will flow
from the fuel valve to the carbure-
tor whenever the fuel level in the
carburetor drops.
"OFF" position
Turn the fuel valve to the "OFF"
position after stopping the engine.
In this position, fuel will not flow to
the carburetor.
WARNING
Leaving the fuel valve in "ON"
position when the engine is off
can be hazardous. The carbu-
retor may overflow and fuel
may run into the engine. This
can cause a fire or cause
severe damage when you start
the engine.
Always move the fuel valve to
the "OFF" position after turn-
ing off the engine.
