  Troll has you on the right path. Check you cap and the vent, unless the fuel has been sitting for a winter or so it should not have varnished.
Your issues are sounding like Driftingirl's and she cleaned her vent and around the fuel cap and it was good to go.

PRI means PRIME, and that's what it's supposed to do. Check the vent in the cap and the vent hose, both could be a source of difficulty

I was having a problem with keeping my Drifter 800 running, it would just stop running after a minute or two! no sputtering, just off ?!? but after a few moments I could start it ?? I tried it again with the petcock in the reserve position and it ran with no problem (and yes I had a half a tank of gas in it !!) so I decided to rebuild the petcock, I figured that the crappy gas we have now, it was varnished, and clogged with it, after the rebuild I found that when in the "PRI" position fuel ran out freely from the tank (and into my shoe !), I don't remember it doing that ?? is that correct ?? in the reserve and ON position nothing comes out the petcock. So did I do the rebuild right ??? and one last question for today is what is the difference between "PRI" and "ON" ?? call me old school but I'm use to "ON" and "OFF" ! any information would be appreciated !
