Petcock could be clogged internally.
Fuel line or filter could be clogged.
Petcock vacuum diaphragm could be cracked or leaking, thereby not opening fully.
Vacuum line could be cracked or leaking.
As Patton pointed out, the vent is in the cap.
Are you sure the problem is fuel-related and not electrical?

I believe the Honda dealers may carry alcohol tolerant fuel lines.

If the advancer is stuck, it should be lubed, or both cleaned and lubed.

If not already done, would perform the clear tube test to determine fuel levels inside the carb float bowls.
