Got around to pulling the gas tank, the petcock seemed good:
1. Pulled fuel hose from petcock, fuel initially came out then stopped. No dripping from petcock.
2. Pulled vacuum hose from petcock, no drips. While trying to pull the vacuum hose, I accidentally squeezed the hose (creating a vacuum) and fuel came out of the pet cock fuel nipple. When I stopped squeezing, nipple stopped flowing fuel.
3. Placed gas tank on two tissue boxes, no dripping from petcock

Pulled sparkplugs, a little white residue on it indicating lean condition.

Now I am waiting for stage 2 rejet kit then I will pull carbs to clean and rejet. I also noticed some rips on the valve cover gasket, will replace that when I do the valve adjustment after carb clean + rejet
