The pilot stated that after reducing power to descend to begin spraying, the engine quit. He dumped the fertilizer and executed a forced landing in a field. During the landing roll, the airplane collided with a tree stump and nosed over. The engine and selected accessories were examined. Tests revealed that the fuel control unit did not flow to the required specifications during the deceleration schedule test. According to the fuel control unit manufacturers records, the same fuel control unit was at their facility in August of 1994 for bench testing. The results indicate that the unit did not flow to specification during the deceleration schedule test. Following the 1994 test, the unit was returned 'as is' (without repair) per the customer's request.
Probable Cause: Improper (low) outflow from the fuel control unit, due to improper maintenance, which resulted in a loss of engine power and a forced landing.
