Question Eugene Oregon. Need help with some little things.

So, I put my location, Eugene, because I could really use some one on one help with my 84 GS. The Vacuum diagram makes no sense to me or my friends, and I know that I'm missing a least a couple tubes.
Soo, if you, or anyone you know lives in or around Eugene it would be really awesome if I could get some help and direction. I can DO just about anything, it's just that I don't know where to start at all. It's running now, but (what I was told by one person) is that it's sucking too much air in and killing the engine, I.E. throwing off the fuel/air mix balance.
I can get it started with starting fluid, and if I hold the clutch in it'll run forrrr maybe 15-20 seconds before it dies. If I rev it it'll stay running though.
I've only had it for 10 days, but I've sunken $300 into it already, and I'd like to get it running reliably and consistently.
I just put some carburetor cleaner in the tank. Any advise you can give me would be great. I don't have a way to get it to a mechanic as I just can't drive it anywhere. I replaced the battery and starter. So they're no longer an issue.
Eugene, Springfield, Veneta, any surrounding areas??
