Proud of you for restoring the GV650 , it’s a shame it was abandoned in that state , it would have been better it stayed in a garage but alas , even dry spaces can make rubber parts brittle and snap , like the drive belt! let alone sit for years , but i digress.

Okay, do you have access to a compression tester ? – Can you do a cold crank for 5 seconds to make sure both pistons have good compression in the first place ?

And yes you can post many pictures , and myself or someone will advise if your carbs look good and you have routed everything right in regards to vacuum and fuel.

Usually “silver port” = vacuum andย  “gold port” is fuel input.ย  (and sometimes there is arrow ==> ==> showing direction of fuel flow so it doesn’t retrograde)
