Default Bike wont start after running out of gas?!?

Im not sure what the issues it, but I just painted my bike and bought a new gas can. So I ran the old tank empty, and got the new one filled with fuel and now the bike wont start.

:Update: I found out tha the reserve/fuel-on lines were crossed but that shouldnt matter its just backwards on the **** now. I can tell that the fuel is getting past the pump (comes out when i remove hose), but it just wont turn over. Any ideas?
Should I check for spark or something, how in the hell would it run one day and not now!???!?

Could be that you have to get the gas through the lines but that shouldn't take long sorry thats my only idea right now.

Yea I was thinking the same, but it sure does look like its getting into the jets, but tonight I will follow it all the way just to make sure and then troubleshoot from there. I just dont understand why im even having the trouble.... but if anybody can think of anything else please post any ideas for me to try.

When my bike ran out of gas, I filled it back up and had to hold the throttle wide open for a few seconds while turning it over to get gas to the carbs. Just my opinion.
