A flight instructor and his student were practicing touch and go landings during a CFR Part 91 instructional flight. During the upwind portion of the landing pattern, about 200 feet agl, the engine lost power. The instructor took control of the airplane, declared an emergency, and began a right turn toward a road. He then saw a clearing and turned toward it, but the left wing collided with a tree during the landing flare. During the landing roll, the nose gear strut collapsed, and the airplane collided with a wooden greenhouse. An FAA inspector examined the airplane and engine and found debris in the main metering jet. The debris appeared to be small flakes of a white material. The inspector noted that the debris was larger than the fuel inlet screen. The carburetor was removed and examined at a maintenance facility. No additional foreign object or debris was found. A small leak was found at the accelerator valve. According to the operator, a previously overhauled carburetor was installed on the engine on March 13, 2006, about 9.6 hours before the accident.
Probable Cause: A loss of engine power during takeoff-initial climb due to contamination (debris) lodged in the carburetor jet, which resulted in a forced landing and collision with trees.
