just get a non vaccuum petcock to replace the one you have & elimanate the vaccuum
line lots on dealers have or buy on ebay

Try a scooter or motorcycle shop.Bring the old one in and see if they can match it with a manual one

Scooter shops will typically have those vaccuum operated ones and they are usually pretty cheap too. If you want to go to a manual one, check with tom at sycpowersports.com (click banner at top of this page) and he probably can get it if he doesn't already have one in stock.

Open the bowl drain to see if you are getting fuel in the carb. If it had set up fpr a period of time the carb gould be pluged or seat could be stuck shut. Also I don't know which petcock you went with, if the vacume type make sure your lines are correct by removing the fuel line from carb then cranking engine to make sure fuel pumps out .
