Hey guys.
My SWb Gq has been running pretty badly the last day or two, lots of pinging and what not, and have been having trouble starting it. But toay when I was driving back from the local shops, the car started loosing power...the lights went out and eventually it just stopped. Luckily I was pretty much out the front of my place when that happened. Just wondering whether anyone knows what the problem could be.
Cheers
Josh

Patrol just died...help
biggest problen with the TB42 is points, but that shouldnt make all your lights go out. i pissed my points off and fitted a petronix ignitor, best money i ever spent. have you checked the obvious like battery terminals, wires to coil etc?
carbuerettor problems can also cause rough running too, but your problem sounds electrical

Well all i know is its been pinging quote alot at start up and running really rough. I had the carby looked at not to long ago and hey said it was fine... I was quite confused about all the lights going off, the battery terminal was fine, if i hadnt had the lights on I would have thought it had of run out of fuel or something.
Check ballast resistor for damage from corrosion, especially if you have dual batteries with one installed on that side.
Check alternator as suggested.
Check points and condensor.
Check coil operation.
Compression test.

+1, sounds like the alternator has shat itself and stopped charging. As you have been driving hte car it has slowly killed the battery to the point where it had nothing left and shut hte car down.

No but my alternator bought the farm over a year ago.
It was a blessing in disguise as it was only a pissy 55w one, gave me the opertunity to put something better in there.
