    Hi,

    I picked up my first ever Husky a 1992 WXC360 over the weekend and have a question about the fuel petcock. It has two outlets; one goes to the carb (as I would expect) and the other goes in the opposite direction and is capped off. I am not sure what the purpose of this capped of path is. While in the "on" position fuel flows to the carb and not to this alternate capped off path. If I move the lever to "reserve" fuel flows to this capped off path.

    Worked great to check the gas in the tank, but I am niot sure what it is really for or if it effects the bike when I need to go to reserve.

    Any of you Husky owners know about this?

    It goes to a hose and then to the other side of the gas tank so you get every last drop instead of having to lean the bike to the left to get the gas from right side of tank.

    Ah - ok so I will need to take a closer look at my tank to find the other side. Right now it is capped off at the petcock and goes (or comes from nowhere) so if I ran out of fuel I would need to lean my bike over to get the fuel from the right side. Sounds like I need to find the outlet on the other side of my tank and run a new line.

    Thanks for the info!

    The outlet is on the petcock, there should be 2 places to attach fuel line. One line goes in (from the other side of the tank) and one goes to the carb. There are even arrows on the petcock if you look closely.

    Went out and took a look. it appears that there is a block-off plate where that right side tank outlet would be.
