Did you actually test the petcock? Because if it's working properly, then no fuel would flow without vacuum being supplied.
I'm gonna guess that something is wrong with it, due to the last owner disconnected it, and your in need of either a new one, or rebuilding the old one, personally I'd go for a new one, why you ask?

If your petcock is shot, save your time, and money and get a new one, the cost of rebuilding it isn't much cheaper, due to you need two separate kits, as they for some reason don't make just one.
New one cost about $65.00

Also be sure to order the orings(92022-183 WASHER,6.2X11X1.5)and new bolts(92001-1091BOLT,6X20),trust me you'll be better off in the long run.
Rebuilding kits are about $60 total.

IMHO not worth it rebuilding, also be sure to check vacuum and fuel lines for wear, holes, and cracks, if in doubt replace them.

Given the few problems you have found, like choke cable, throttle cables, vacuum hose, etc... You might want to seriously think about having those carburetors serviced, PM Ducatiman for his top caliber services, or parts.
