During cruise flight the student pilot observed a loss of engine power. He applied carburetor heat for about 30 seconds with no improvement in engine performance. When the engine stopped running, he performed a forced landing in a cow pasture. During the landing, the airplane struck a tree, resulting in structural damage to the left wing spar. During examination of the wreckage the fuel strainer was opened and approximately 2 tablespoons of a moist, powdery substance were found inside, and some had adhered to the internal fuel screen. The origin of the substance was not determined, however the airplane was stored outside and had not been flown for several months following the last annual inspection.
Probable Cause: A total loss of engine power due to fuel starvation as a result of a contaminated fuel strainer.
