Roadside Electrical Breakdown

- the Engine dies or refuses to start

First a warning: In the event of a breakdown think road safety; have you got a hi-visibility jacket for yourself and passengers, if so wear it.  Can you place a warning triangle, or a person safely, back down the road, but make sure you collect the triangle and person afterwards.

A methodical approach starting with the connections and then work back from the plugs, checking that the spark is reaching that point in the system.
