Do a search and check the other threads on here for info on this and look at the pictures on here and the diagrams of the petcock in the parts fiche posted elsewhere and on Ron Ayers.
Is the tank empty when you run out?
The little tube extending upwards from the petcock from the ON position may have fallen off and you are draining the tank dry, there's nothing left when you switch to reserve to the lower shorter inlet tube. If this is the problem, you have to take off and drain the tank and remove the petcock to see this. The fix is easy once you see what happened.
