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.
This sounds plausible considering the symptoms. I did peer into the tank through the filler hole and I couldn't see any gas at all so it may well be completely draining. Guess I'll be taking the gas tank off......

Thanks for the help! :biggrin:
