Yup fresh oil, spark plugs, brake fluid, and carb was rebuilt (hopefully properly) so hopefully we get the tank back on and start it for the first time in who knows how long tomorrow lol.

He was referring to the Prime setting on the petcock. You should put it on Prime to let gravity cause some fuel to go from the fuel tank to the carb bowl until the float should stop the flow of fuel. After 30 sec or so, you could switch it back to ON and it should work as designed as long as your petcock vacuum line is connected as well.  Grin
