CL350 help

well being new to the cafe world, I would like some advice. I am having issues with my newly purchased cl. the last time it was ridden was sept. of 05, and I just got it to run just recently. my leg is still tired from kicking it to go. this may seem like a dum question but did the 72 cl's have electric start? am i just blind and didn't see the starter? the button on the throttle is worn out so there is no labels on it. My battery was near dead, and would not charge very well. I am going to replace it. but when I hit the button all it did was click. so I am sure that my battery was too weak to turn the starter. I don't think the starter is dead if that is what it is. also the 72 CL has a 6 volt system right? where can I get a replacement headlight, or upgrade it to something brighter. I am not sure on where to start, I have so much to do and not alot of time.

just ride it.

thanx for all of your help, I am going to get started on all of this this weekend, and as of the headlight issue, I forgot to mention that my low beam doesn;'t work so I only have high. I would like to replace it so I have both beams, any 12 volt bulb will work? any one know what the wattage is? and I also believe that a turn signal bulb is out too? once again any 12 volt? thanx again for all of the help.
