FUSES! I hate forgetting about fuses... I was driving my little dune buggy home from work one day... Center of town it just dies, so i hop out, push it into a parking spot, and start checking all the connections, engine, coil, starter relay, alternator, voltage regulator, start tapping the electric choke, switch connections, everything i can think of.... call in the cavalry, tow it home... 25 amp ignition fuse with a box of spares sitting right next to it.... SON OF A B!*$#! did make me happy that nothing else was broken, just stupid that i overlooked it.
