Project bike not starting
Hi I am new to this so sorry if I get it wrong. I have just bought a gs425 1979 hardtail and have got to the stage of trying to fire it up, I am getting an issue with fuel only to one cylinder and not starting. there is also a challenge with the electrics in that it keeps shorting and blowing the fuse (have gone through 15 or so) I am hoping I have the wiring correct as I know I have spark and power to all of the ancillaries, but keeps also blowing the fuse when I try to switch the headlight on. I am a bit stuck as I am doing this as a memorial bike and want to have it running and ready for mid june, but not sure where to start, if anyone can help -

sorry also wondering where all of the pipes go on the petcock as has 2 outputs but 3 pipes, 2 I know are breathers from the bottom of the carb area, big pipe for main fuel intake, then another moving connection on the top left part for a tube

disconnect headlight, will it still blow fuse? The 15 amp fuse is close to maximum normally at startup- any problem and it will blow
this wiring diagram should be similar to your gs425
