DURING LANDING, A DOG WANDERED ONTO THE RUNWAY INTO THE PATH OF THE LANDING ROLL. A GO-AROUND WAS BEGUN, DURING WHICH THE ENGINE LOST POWER. WIRES AT THE END OF THE RWY FORCED THE PILOT TO DUCK UNDER THEM AND THE AIRPLANE HIT A POLE. A MECHANIC RAN THE ENGINE AFTERWARDS AND NOTHING WAS FOUND TO PRECLUDE NORMAL OPERATION. HE ALSO NOTED THAT THE CARBURETOR MOUNT INSULATED THE CARBURETOR FROM THE ENGINE HEAT AND NO CARBURETOR HEAT SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED. HUMIDITY CONDITIONS WERE CONDUCIVE TO CARBURETOR ICING.
Probable Cause: WEATHER CONDITIONS CONDUCIVE TO CARBURETOR ICING. A FACTOR WAS THE LACK OF A CARBURETOR HEAT SYSTEM ON THE ENGINE.
