Thing's post reminds me; If the engine quits, and you're committed to a forced landing ahead, consider pulling the mixture, and switching off the mags. It has been known that the engine sparks a bit to life, just enough to lure the pilot to thinking they can fly out of it after all, and they give up what otherwise would have been a good forced approach. Then it quits again, and they have a lot less to play with to make a decent "landing" out of it.
Resist the impulse to change the plan....
