Anyone got a pic of a stock Suzuki petcock?

Mine is a 79 gs1000l but I'm sure other's are similiar. The reason I ask is from my understanding the petcock should have 4 settings. OFF, RUN, RES(erve), and PRI(me). Mine only has 2, RES and RUN. I'm trying to figure out if mine's been replaced. Thanks

There is no OFF setting on any of the vacuum petcocks. OFF and RUN are the same setting. The petcock opens by vacuum, which is only present if the engine is turning over. 79 should have PR (prime), R (run), and RES (reserve).
To get a look at the various configurations used on GS's, you can go to

They show pictures of all the suzuki applications.

Mine isn't in any of those pictures. It says fuel at top, res towards front, and run straight down, but no prime.

If it's stock, again IF, prime will be pointing right or the lever towards the front of the bike the arrow pointing to the back of the bike.
Is it a "short" lever or no lever on it?

Here's a stock one on e-bay that shows how it looks pretty well...

Great site! It looks similiar to what 8trackmind posted, but the side that should read prime is completely flush. It doesn't have the step out like the res does

Mine's the same way on my 1980 GS550E. There is a run and res position only. I assume the petcock is after market or something. For me, prime has been... pull vacuum line off carburetors and suck.

So you can see, priming my carbs literally sucks. I hope someone can tell me, I'm missing something here. The petcock only moves into the two positions.
