Just made a post over in troubleshooting ^^; figured that was the better suited place to put such a thing.

The funny thing is that when it first broke down, I managed to get it to start 2, 3 more times that night. I thought I was close to where I was going, so I'd push it a few miles, then get frustrated and attempt to start it again out of desperation and a few of those times it started... it actually broke down differently a couple of times. The first time it puttered out like it was out of gas (that marked drop in speed then a puttering to death), another time it died when I tried to stop to call and figure out where the hell I was, similarly it cut out when I let off the throttle going down a hill. Much like now the electricity was tetchy while I was pushing, sometimes the light shone fine, others it was dim/flickery. I kept the lights off most of the time I was pushing unless I heard a car coming, then I'd turn them on for visibility (last thing I needed while broken down in the middle of the night Middle-of-Nowhere, Texas was to get squashed by a car.. )
