If it was a it it would only be firing on one cylinder, this can be checked by spraying water on the downpipes when it is running. One one tha water will steam away and the other will stay wet (if it is a coil) It will also sound lumpy and if you rev it it will most likely die (at least mine did) The faulty coil will not cause all the electrics to cut out though.

I'm free next weekend if you want a hand with it, can't really think of any suggestions at the moment though.

I will test regulator rectifier& battrey first... then fuel tap and its filter then coils.....

My guess would be some kind of electrical fault, like a bad ground.
