Do I have the valve positions correct?

I know this is off:


There is a little arrow on the end of the handle pointing away from the petcock, which makes me confused if this is ON or RESERVE:

um... Just like it says. Off is closed. Up and down is to feed the carburator. Reserve just picks up the fuel from a lower part of the tank. It gets more gunk in the tank, but you get some extra mileage out of it.

but which way is the valve turned to reserve? Is the one in the second pic on reserve or regular?
There is no reserve on the standard valve supplied with the kits.

A valve with reserve would have a separate tube sticking up into the tank
to have a higher level for a reserve.

Do you have a pic of the whole valve?

90' is OFF
Inline is ON either way up or down.

I looked at the 4 valves I have left and 3 say reserve and 1 is not marked at that position.

The face plate is probably used on other valves that have a real reserve.

How can i squeeze more power out of my 4 stroke?
Ok, I remember you bought a 50cc Huasheng 4G kit from Phantom Bikes.
Check out AGK for hop up parts.

Are you going to bring that bike to the next race at Willow Springs on September 1st?
Hitch a ride with scotto.

scotto has a modified 50 cc Huasheng.
