Default newby restoration

I inherited a ca95e-3103499 and have a number of issues to deal with if anyone has some suggestions. I don't have an owners or service manual, so any information is new information. The speedo has only 45 miles on it and the bike was stored in a garage in Florida (with gas in the tank - all rusty). I think I will try the electrolysis method described in earlier posts.
New battery, but it won't crank. Kick starter turns the engine over easily.
Throttle cable doesn't move - probably frozen valve in carbuerator. Oil looks clean. Brake light works, front light doesn't - horn works.
Questions - best place to get a service manual?
does the starter have a solenoid? what do each of the poositions on the ignition switch mean?
I have tried to remove the petcock from the gas tank but the screw thread on outer cover is frozen - I am afraid to break it if I force it - any ideas?
I am sure I have a dozen more questions that I don't even know about yet.
Thanks in advance.
Walt
