Hitting the carb has nothing to do with the electrical system.  If his 
action is what caused it then he hit something else and didn't realize it or 
it was just an amazing coinkeydink,

Start at the battery and make sure the battery is fully charged and the 
leads are clean and tight.  I would remove them and clean them up and put 
them back on.  Also check the bulkhead connector where the wires go in to 
the cabin from the underhood area.  This connector can be troublesome.  Much 
of the wiring is on the driver side fender.  My guess is you will find that 
he leaned on something there to hit the carb and that is what killed it or I 
could be all wrong.  Either way you are going to need to get a voltage meter 
and track the problem down.
