PR stands for prime or gas will flow at all times. On stands for on, it's a vacuum powered petcock so when the engine is running gas will flow. RES is for reserve, use this after you run out of gas on ON.

When I run out of gas on the road I have to put mine in PR to get enough gas in the carbs to restart before I can move it to reserve.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.
