Riding the bike should provide enough jostling to free up a "stuck" float inside the tank. But I have never heard that they get stuck in the first place. The bouyancy of that air inside the float is substantial.

None of that at the fuel tank can cause flooding at the carb. These bikes come jet lean and using the choke should not cause flooding. Do NOT twist the throttle much when you try to start it... just pull the choke. Maybe 1/8th throttle, no more.

The petcock lever needs to be on (vertical) not off (horizontal). Not sure why it isn't starting though. Have you heard any firing at all?
