No auto-on headlight on the '77. You must work it with the on-off switch on the right handlebar switch assembly. If you're wondering if the headlight even works, you can try it with just the key turned on, motor not running. I wouldn't leave it on while trying to start the bike though. It's robbing battery power when it's on.
Yes, try kick starting the bike. These kick start easier (if everything's set right) than they electric start. The battery isn't real big so doesn't have a large reserve capacity. Continuous electric start cranking will run it down pretty fast.
