If your gas tanks' fuel level is enough for reserve and less than enough for the on position, you can run it on reserve and then switch to on and it will run out of gas.
But I'd just drain the carbs by loosening the bolt on the bottom of the float bowl for each carb and draining each carb. You'll probably trash the gaskets and will need to replace them.sigpic

There are a few more answers in your other post.
Please, it is rather confusing when you post the same question in multiple forums.
