The commercial pilot reported a partial loss of engine power during takeoff. He was unable to restore full power, and made an emergency off-airport landing, which resulted in structural damage to the airplane. An FAA inspector and an aviation mechanic examined the engine and noted that the gasket between the air filter and carburetor was missing. A portion of gasket-like material was subsequently discovered in the carburetor's intake venturi. The FAA inspector noted that the material in the venturi would have impeded air flow and resulted in the engine running too rich.
Probable Cause: The presence of foreign material in the carburetor intake venturi, which resulted in a partial loss of engine power during takeoff, and a subsequent off-airport forced landing.
