That is strange my GZ only has three positions Run, Prime, and Reserve. There is no turning off the petcock on my bike. If yours is like mine you could leave the petcock on Run and disconnect the vacuum line (plug line with golf tee) then run the engine till it runs out. On the restart you set the petcock to Prime and it will fill the carb bowl without having to crank. Once it starts return petcock to Run.
