The petcock has two fuel inlets. One is a tube that extends up a few inches, and the other is just a hole in the top of the petcock. The tall tube is the inlet for the on/run position, and the hole is the reserve inlet. You might have something plugging the on/run inlet tube.

Maybe it's low on fuel?
