Unhappy F3 died after light drive.

So I could use some help. I was out driving my F3 when it died when I came to a stop. I was downshifting and came to a stop. When i went to accelerate tt didn't move, that's when i realized it had shut down. I tried to restart it with no success. I had just topped off the tank so I know that wasn't it. The temperature gauge gave me no reason to worry. Whenever I tried to start it it would turn over but wouldn't fire up. Haven't had time to check fuses yet. Does it sound like an electrical problem. It wasn't chugging or anything, just stopped running.

Thanks for any help. I want to get back on the road ASAP before the Western New York winter brings its wrath.

There are 2 common things that can cause that symptom. Your charging system wasn't keeping the battery charged, or you're not getting fuel to the carbs. If it's turning over with enthusiasm like it normally does, then I don't think its your charging system. By charging I'm referring to your R/R or Regulator/Rectifier. No fuel is often caused by a bad fuel pump. Try tapping on your fuel pump while trying to start it. The pump may be able to run for a little bit and get some fuel to the carbs.
