| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that at a distance of about one mile from the departure airport and at 800 feet above ground level (AGL), the engine lost complete power. In an effort to avoid trees during the forced landing, the pilot was unable to maintain airspeed which resulted in a "hard" landing which broke the nose wheel axle bolt. Just before the aircraft stopped, the nose fork dug in and the aircraft nosed over. The pilot reported that the engine quit because a jet came loose in the carburetor.
Probable Cause: Loose jet in the carburetor while on climb out resulting in a loss of engine power.
