During cruise flight at 2000 feet, the engine lost power. The pilot reported that he applied carburetor heat, but nothing happened. He said he pumped the throttle to get the engine to run, but it wasn't running properly. He also reported that during a forced landing, the airplane encountered a drainage ditch, the nose gear collapsed, and the propeller and left wing struck the ground. No fuel was found in the fuel lines and gascolator, and only a residual amount of fuel was found in the fuel tanks; however, a fuel line had ruptured, and the amount of fuel that had drained from the fuel system was not verified.
Probable Cause: loss of engine power for an undetermined reason.
