I may be miles off here Steve but many bikes like this have a fuel tap that is vacuum operated. The tap has 3 pipes going to it - one from the tank, one to the carb and one to a vacuum take off connection on the crankcase, often just below the carb itself. If you can find the third pipe and suck through it, petrol should start to flow.
