Not enough info I'm afraid. When you say a tap, do you mean a knock?

Just not enough info.

Check plugs for spark
Are you running 1:100 oil, an overheating piston could knock
Run compression test.
Ensure fuel and filtration clean
Check fuel pump
Check gearbox oil for metal. A failing gearbox can knock.

A single knock and then power loss. Outside chance of a flywheel key shearing. My guess is you limped home?
