Don't forget to change the oil.
It is most likely gas contaminated.

It will not just have been the petcock, one or more of the carbi needle and seats had to have leaked as well. Was the fuel in only one cylinder and which one? Had the same after having the carbs apart for cleaning and a leaking petcock. After sorting out the petcock I have had no more trouble. I did not pull the carbs again so it must have been either a piece of crud on just a sticking needle.
Doubt it was crud as I really use a lot of air on the carbs and lines.
Just be a little wary, good habit to just bump the starter over so if it does it again you may not any major damage.
Cheers Steve.

I would pull the tank, and clean it out. Probably has rust in it. Drain the carbs. Install an inline filter, make sure the petcock is right. Research topic - hundreds of previous posts on this problem.
