Ok then, but even though its got nothing to do with your particular problemo

If you run out of main tank fuel and dont switch to reserve the carbs will be emptied of fuel, followed shortly by the engine spluttering and dying. The engine will then not start again even if you switch to reserve because the fuel tap needs a running engine to develop enough vacuum to open it. The way out of this dilemma is to switch to prime position as this doesnt need vacuum to open the fuel flow, you can now re start your engine and switch to reserve until you fill your tank.

As Old Git says.

'PIR'? I think that is indeed Prime, as also explained by OG.

Models vary - Mine actually said Prime. My 650 doesn't even have one, though.

Big Up ta OG, there!!!!
