    Lots of electrical issues, please help

    I just got my first bike, a '76, about a month ago, and have been tinkering with it to try to get it ready to ride in spring. I tried to kick-start it one day, and seemingly ran into a lot of electrical issues and couldn't get it started. I'm going to post all the information I can provide...
