    '79 gs1000 service manual including wiring diagram

    I have a '79 gs1000e and it ran this past fall but it was rough/erratic so I pulled the carbs to do intake manifold o rings. I went through the carbs but they were really clean from previous owner.. got it back together today and have no spark. In fact, the starter button doesn't work either. I figured just the starter button was humped but looking to hear it fire, I ran a jumper from 12V positive and would touch the starter solenoid to crank the bike. Didn't get a pop so then I checked spark and have none. with the ignition on, I do get my green neutral light and power to the four fuse block. I don't get any headlight tho (and forgot to check my tail light). this bike has a fuel gauge with two wires coming out of the gauge but I don't see where to connect them (they are male blades). there is a connector hanging near the battery with two female blades but they are both in an L shaped housing so my two male fuel sender wires don't fit in.. I also have one mystery wire coming out of the harness near the coils which has a female blade connector on it..

    Anyway, just looking for a manual with wiring diagram.

    thanks!

      thanks Jordan, But I had found that link on here and it doesn't open for me correctly. I get a bunch of code/txt as shown below excerpt. However, I did manage to find a 1980 factory manual online and resolved my electrical start/spark problem to the main kill switch (I've fixed this a few times before and suspected such but wanted the manual anyway. So now she is running rough and I see my mix screws are set all over the place from 0.75 turns to 1.5 turns and one is pretty jammed so I'm trying to loosen it now. manual indicates these are preset and only god and Suzuki can mess with them but does anyone know a basic start mix screw setting?? I have pods and an open pipe and not sure of the jetting from PO but he said he had it running with pods.... maybe I messed with the mix screws when I checked the carbs and forgot to reset them..

        Thanks in advance for your interest/help here but I found some recommended settings and reset the fuel to one turn and the air to 2 turns but its still a long way off idling right because #1 and #3 Ex pipes are cold... I verified spark on #1 and can't imagine a timing ignition problem being so far off to cause such without backfiring so I'm going to check compression and swap in new plugs and then recheck pilots and floats on the suspect carbs.. (#3 was leaking fuel which I corrected with a ratchet rapp tap).. Oh, and I yanked the carbs already but out of the three nipples coming off the tops of carbs 2, 3, 4, wasn't it #3 which is petcock vacuum and #2 & 4 which are vents? I had it running with #3 hose plugged but with my motion pro vacuum carb sync tool installed, it was reading way low at idle
