Hey Edavi,
What's got you confused is thinking that these petcocks are vacuum controlled. They are GRAVITY feed, and your markings are correct. The Control Valve=Octopus IS what is the vacuum control mechanism. Both ports on the petcocks ARE for fuel flow, there isn't a vacuum port on them!! The Prime ports are for filling the carbs after extended sitting before engine is running. The other settings are for the other petcock port that flows THRU the OCTY and is controlled by it's function while the engine is running.
T.C.
