Tim,
I would start with looking at the battery cables.  I had a similar problem
(but in the fall, temps in the 50s) and the ground cable from the battery
was bad/corroded.  Get a multimeter, set it on "continuity" and check  for
ground continuity,  then check for voltage from the positive terminal to
ground.

Good luck.

Good Afternoon Tigers,

I had took my Tiger out yesterday for gas and an inspection sticker. Two mi=

It's definitely an electrical issue, but I have no idea where to look/start=

Any input would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Coil would be something to check, it will run when it's cold and fail when
it warms up.

If the car just died it's hard to put the blame on the battery.  If you
managed to start the car, the battery can't be in very bad shape.  If you
were to completely disconnect the battery while the car is running, it
would continue to run on the generator.  If you're sure it's an
electrical problem I would start by checking out the ignition system -
points, coil, condenser, ballast resistor.
Good luck

If the horn, headlights, etc. work, then it might be a bad coil, or loose wire. Check and see if you have spark.

Good Afternoon Tigers, 

I had took my Tiger out yesterday for gas and an inspection sticker. Two miles from my house the car just died - dead as a doornail!  Brand new battery.  I had to have the car flat-bedded home (I waited 2.5 hours in 90+ degree heat for the truck to arrive).  

It's definitely an electrical issue, but I have no idea where to look/start. 

 Thanks in advance, 

Tym McDowell

I agree withe a ground issue somewhere.

Do you have electronic ignition (Petronix, Mallory etc?) if so, I would stro=
ngly suspect that. Have heard similar stories from owners that have electron=
ic ignition.
