Its taken a little bit to get back to you guys but thanks for everything. Had to go out of town for a wee bit but I'm back!  At the moment I've went through all possible fuels problems and have made sure fuels was getting where it needed to be, I actually did end up bypassing the sos because fuels just wasn't flowing, HOWEVER that was not the issue.  I was starting to believe it may be an electrical issue so i checked for spark and had none... Soooo... as a couple of you fine gents suggested I took the battery to the shop, asked for a load test.... I forgot to mention I actually dont have anything to charge the battery with but do use an external, fully charged battery to crank etc.  getting to the point they came back and said it wasn't even charged - go figure - and said he wouldn't have a problem keeping it over night and performing the load test ... This is currently where I am at now....  Just filling you guys in, and didn't want to leave you hanging after all of the very much appreciated advice, tips and suggestions!

While I wait do you suppose there are any other tests or what not I could perform, while I don't have the battery?
Also I did mention that I bypassed the sos, there was indeed a fuel delivery issue (though not the root of the evil) but after cleaning the petcock (just used b12 and those little arts and crafts pipe cleaners) gas was still flowing even in the off position, so it was just a bit messy hooking up, thought?
