There are three positions marked on my 99 king quad.

On, Reserve and Prime.

On - is for running the machine normally.

Reserve - is for running when the tank gets low. Gives you time to get back and refill the tank.

Prime - is for priming the carb after the float bowl has been emptied i.e. after storing for the winter or working on the carb.

Note? both the on and reserve positions require a vacuum for gas to flow. i.e. when you start the quad by turning over the engine a vacuum is created in the carb which is piped to the petcock via a rubber hose. This vacuum works on a diaphragm (located in the back of the petcock) to allow gas to flow. I assume this is a safety feature of newer quads / bikes.

If you take off the fuel line and turn the petcock to on or reserve while the engine is off no fuel will come out. However, if you turn it to prime then fuel will come out if the engine is off or on.

Note: I was having trouble with my quad idling and running rich. After extensive pain (rebuilding and resetting my carb a number of times) I eventually found out that the diaphragm in the petcock was leaking gas!

Because I failed to discover this eventually gas actually drained from a full tank of gas into the engine contaminating the oil. Luckily I found out before running the quad but this is certainly something to be aware of.

How do you drain water out of a 2007 Suzuki 700 king quad fuel tank?

To drain water from the fuel tank of a 2007 Suzuki 700 King Quad, first ensure the ATV is on a level surface and turn off the ignition. Remove the fuel tank cap and locate the fuel petcock or drain screw, usually found at the bottom of the tank. Position a suitable container underneath, then open the petcock or drain screw to allow the water and fuel mixture to flow out. Once drained, close the petcock or screw, refill the tank with fresh fuel, and check for any remaining water before starting the engine.
