Question 2007 Kawasaki Vulcan EN500 engine problem

While cruising down the interstate my engine will die one cylinder at a time. Pulling off the road I put the petcock on prime then reserve. After much cranking - battery almost dies the engine fires up. Ride it home 25 miles and all is fine.
This has happened to me 3 times so far. Any tips to what my problem is?

Is there a recall on this petcock?
