Check ignition switch at backside of dash for continuity & wire harness plug connection free of corrosion tight & secure connection.

You can make your own wiring diagram very easily. Take your eyes and fingers. Touch a wire from one end to the other. Document what you touched and connected to what. Might even learn something along the way. Like why you have an electrical issue. Then how to correct said issue.
 
The only thing that is in line when you just turn to run is the carburetor fuel solenoid.

Pull the plug off the back of the key swich
Jump the red & yellow wires
If the fuse blows then Star has nailed it and there is a short in the wires to the carb solenoid
If the fuse does not blow then the key switch is faulty
