Before you spend money on a petcock or waste anymore time with it, just do a real quick simple test. Pull the fuel line off at the carburetor and put it in a small bucket, put petcock in prime position and verify fuel is flowing in the bucket. If it is then there should be plenty of fuel getting to the carburetor to fill the carburetor bowl, at least in prime position. Keep it in prime and try and run the bike (you have probably already tried this) but atleast in prime you will know for a fact that your getting fuel.

The timing pickup is a crankshaft position sensor. Unless the valve timing got out really bad, you should be getting at least pops and sputters.
If there's spartk, fuel, and at least some compression, you should see some signs of life.

Okay, so I'm pretty sure it's not the petcock. I don't see how it could be an issue since prime works fine. I have to empty the tank using the prime position everytime I take the tank off.
I just did another carb clean and put a new gasket and float needle in. Didn't make any difference.
So I guess my question now is does this sound electrical? If so, what would I do to test it? Also, some people have been saying they think it is the timing. Is this reasonable for how a bad timed bike sounds?

Almost 6 months and 4 pages have gone by and the bike still won't run.
You don't have enough experience to trouble shoot it on your own, and we can't seem to get a diagnosis over the forum that has solved it.
Take it to a shop, and get it fixed.
