As far as the fuel issue I warmed up the engine with a small heater and put the petcock in the prime position. It took about 20 min of trying but it finally stayed running. Now it starts great! I cant even tell you exactly what the problem was.. yesterday was a great day!

Sorry about that! Turns out I had the points in the wrong position. I just had to loosen them and move them just a little bit. I was able to do the timing correctly then

Were you able to turn the petcock back to the RUN position?
If not, get ready to change your oil.

Yup I did remember to do that. I made that mistake once already this year. I also forgot to mention that the spark advance was rusted tight and that was replaced
Thank you to all of you that helped me get the bike running
