Unhappy new to motorcycle.. need help w/ a 79 gs 750L

i was recently givin a 79 GS 750L. i worked allday yesterday on trying to get it started, there seems to be a problem w/ the carbs. i have gotten to start w/ full choke and it idled. im new to motorcycles, and dont know how it should be... all throutle lines are right and its hooked hooked to the intakes. but i dont know how the fuel lines should be... i really like the bike.. low miles especialy for the year and its very clean and in perfect order. i have started the bike on starter fuel beyond the time that i had it running at idle. it seems to be a fuel dilivery problem. im really stumped because i dont know carb.s and i dont know bikes AT ALL.. im in school learning to become an auto tech and i have alot of experiance w/ cars so im faily good mechanicly. im sure if i had a picture or some kind of schmatic to go by. i could figure it out.. please help if u can. i really appreciate any help. thank you very much..
