    Welcome to the forum. I think you are looking for a vacuum line that will run to the carbs for that one. That allows your fuel to flow when the engine is running. As the motor turns over and the carbs start to do their jobs, that line have vacuum on it. That allow the diaphragm inside the petcock to open up and fuel to run to the carbs.

    There might be a "Prime" setting on the petcock as well, this will allow you to bypass the vacuum portion of the petcock and should be used first if you cleaned your carbs and they are dry.
