Hope you see this before you start tearing things apart:

From the post by WW: Forward is "ON ". Rearward is " Reserve ". Downward is " Prime ".

AND if that is not the problem, then consider that you might just need to put the lever to "PRIme" for a few seconds to get fuel into the carb again after it has run dry BEFORE you try to start it in the RES position.

Last but not least: If you reset the trip odometer at each fillup and stop for gas about 120-150 miles, you will never have the problem again !! :biggrin:
