    GENERALLY SPEAKING, since you didn't tell us what bike:

    This is a representative Yamaha fuel valve. The large port (the lower one) is the fuel line to the carbs; the smaller, upper port is for the vacuum signal line from the vacuum stub on the #2 or #3 intake manifold (boot.) A complete breakdown and explanation of the vacuum petcock is here: http://xjbikes.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=25058.html

    As for pictures: You can attach images, although there are size limits, both in how big the image is and how big the file is; or you can get a PhotoBucket or similar photo-hosting account and "imbed" them in your posts, as I did with the photo above.
