    camper brakes lock up?

    Maybe you could get the drums turned if the grooves aren't too bad. Are the magnets messed up too? Plug into someone else's truck that has a controller and see if the same thing happens. It could be a defective controller.

    Where should the knob be on a petcock on a 1982 Yamaha XJ750 Maxim?

    The rule for petcocks is; If the selector lever is perpendicular to the fuel line it is off, and if the lever is in line with the fuel line it is on. Regardless of what PRI means. If you want to be certain, disconnect the line and see if it runs into a can.

    How do I correctly operate the choke on my 2000 Honda Shadow VT750 ACE?

The Choke is used to temporarily cause the engine to suck extra fuel for starting when cold and when the engine heats up a little,which doesn't take long...
