    Yes, it over-revved because the dirty petcock caused it to all of a sudden not get fuel. It's like if you shut the petcock off while the engine is running. When it gets close to using up the fuel from the carb, it will rev faster. The fuel mixture becomes very lean at this point, that is why it happens. Anyway... You have spark, but it won't kick over. How long did it over-rev before you shut it off? Sounds like best case scenario, you need new piston rings. But I wouldn't be surprised if you will have to bore the cylinder and get next size piston.
