Answer
Hi Paul.
 ok.  Here's your answer;

1)  You are getting fuel through the petcock.  Is it hooked up correctly with the vacuum line on the intake?

2)  You are getting spark.

3)  Since the bike was running, you don't likely have a compression problem.

4)  Have you checked to see if fuel is getting through the carb?

Unless you have a short in the ignition circuit or a failing ignition coil, then that is the most likely reason for your problem.

Let me know what you find.
Good luck.
