Arrow Bike only stays running on prime

Hey guys and gals,
I have a 1989 gsx katana750. Heres the problem. I can only run the bike on prime. It will run for about a mile on 'reserve' or 'on' position then die.Have to put it on prime again. Will stay running on prime but runs rich. Is the hose on the back of the petcock supposed to go to the side of the carb right? It is. What could be the deal? bad diaphram?: Need some help with this one. Ive tried looking through the forum to see a subject that fits this description. But no luck.Thanks
