I just changed the oil and it smells kinda like gas...it smells like the rich smell I've been smelling when it starts...but it still won't start. I replace the sparkplug and a few hoses. I tested the petcock it works fine...any other ideas?

Did you do the valve adjustment? Are you getting spark?

I havent checked the spark yet I was rushing before work I will do that tomorrow morning and I did do any valve adjustments yet either. It also doesnt help that I killed my battery trying to start it the last 3 days lol....but at this point thats the least of my problems...lol...
After reading a bunch on here I dont think its the petcock (but I havent totally ruled it out) I think its something in the carb. When I got the carb Kien Hi or somethign like that, I never jetted it or anything just "plug-n-play" lol...so im gonna take it of and go through it and see if there is an issue.

the petcock is the easiest thing to rule out, they way that spark plug is burnt up i bet your valves are burnt also and not sealing right from running lean just guessing, you just need to stop fooling around and wasting your time and pull the head off and inspect the valves then the piston and cylinder, if everything looks okay put it together adjust your valves check for spark and try to fire it up then

From what i can see, the valves look fine and the piston but i am not the best judge of pics. Make sure you see no light come from the valves no crack, that they are seated tight.

the only other thing I can think is that it has to be a carb issue....Ive noticed a few other threads in here with about the same problems only going 20-30 mph, not staying running, etc. The only thing i havent taken apart yet is the carb...lol Now when I got the carb it was off a scooter i bought for $50 bucks and I just put it on and went lol..so I bet the jetting was off or something. I will tear the carb apart tomorrow and post more pics...
