You have a pretty heavy drain on your battery. Find the fuse box. Remove all the fuses. With volt/ohm meter, read each fuse socket to find which one is drawing the power - when you find it ... investigate the circuit to find the short.
It may be that you are not making power ... your rectifier may be shorted which not only prohibits charging ... in some circumstances, it will actually cause a short to ground.
I would first fill the tank with fresh fuel especialy if the bike has stood for any length of time also determine as to wether or not fuel is actualy reaching the barrrels remove the spark plugs & check if they are wet or dry if they are found to be dry open the drain plugs on the carby float bowls if fuel runs out of the drain it must be asumed that your broblemis carburation & will require the carbies to be removed stripped & cleaned this will involve the removal of all the jets the float & the needle & seat once these have all bean cleaned thoroughly [compressed air is usefull for this part of the operation] &reasembled return them to the machine &
it sounds like you guessed right,the fuel tap is not correct for that bike,i had one in then shop the other day and it is two pipes coming off the fuel tap 1 to each pair of carbs,by changing to a single pipe of the same diameter you are effectively cutting your fuel supply in half and every "t" fitting that goes in the line restricts it further...go back to the standard tap fitting and get rid of all the "t" fittings and your problem should go away
did you have 2 fittings on old tank? if so then you need 2 fittings on this one, each carb needs to get enough fuel, if you use a t piece you will be making them struggle to get it. you can try and see, but as far as i know they should be separate feeds
