correlating symptoms of gummed up petcock valve would be once you got it started and ran at 80 on the freeway for awhile and then stop, it starts flooding and dies, or after turning it off it starts leaking gas out the carb overflow.

easiest way to see whats going on is put a clear tube on the carb drain line and open it up with the tube going up... the gas will flow into the tube up to the height the fuel is in the carb... so you can see how high the fuel in the carb is. does it drain? does it overfill?
