CB360 electrical problem?

I have a 74 CB360 which I bought last November for $100. I worked on it all winter and got it running and registered and made into a respectable daily rider. Just in the last two weeks the bike has taken a downturn. When I turn the key to the on position, I get a weak light when the bike is in neutral. After riding for a little while the neutral light is bright and strong. The problem is that I can´t turn on the headlight or blinker without the bike trying to kill. If I come to a stop, I have to rev the engine continually, like it´s not getting enough gas. Couple a stop with a turn signal flashing, and the bike dies. I have a battery trickle charger and tend it regularly. I don´t think the battery is the problem. The engine is acting like it´s not getting enough gas and dies pretty quick at idle. Again, if I turn on any light, the bike dies instantly. I don´t know where to go from here. Please help,
Ethan
