There is no "on" position on the petcock! Just "prime", "run", & "reserve". "run" & "res" require engine vacuum to open the flow. "pri" doesn't need vacuum. Did you try setting it to "pri" for a few seconds to fill the carb, before trying to start it? (note that the long side of the lever should point towards the position that you select)
