Mitch, you can boost these bikes off from a car as long as the car is NOT_RUNNING. Just straight hook up the battery via jumper cables. This will at least let you thumb the starter and see what happens.

Most people selling vehicles will tell you they just changed the oil and that "everything works good". Are you certain there was oil in it when you bought it? Did you check? How many miles have you put on the bike since then? Like, if it was full, how quickly did all of the oil vanish?

None of this was caused by leaving the petcock in PRI. You may need to go back and break this guys left leg.
