Hey Desmond, you're doing great.  Rewiring everything, getting to where it starts on spraycan,
very big deal.

I suggest just gut that petcock.
Take a drill, an ice pick, whatever, just hack the internals out of it, including the screen.
Get a clear, inline plastic inline fuel filter and put in maybe half way in the fuel line.
Lowes has them for lawnmowers, they cost 9 dollars.

When you get fuel flowing to the carb rack, tap the carbs gently to help them seal the float valves.
If one or more leak, just take 'em apart and get the crap out that's keeping the valve from seating.
