Pat,

First thing to do is to pull the gas line off the carburator and make sure the gas is flowing.

Many crappy reproduction petcocks come in three varieties: (1) those that leak externally; (2) those that leak internally - they never quite shut off, and (3) those that don't "pass gas".

If the gas is flowing, you can take off the float bowl by loosening three little screws on the right side of the carb and seeing if the float has gotten stuck.
