THE PILOT STATED THAT DURING THE INITIAL CLIMB AFTER TAKEOFF, HE NOTED A REDUCTION IN ENGINE POWER. HE FOLLOWED EMERGENCY PROCEDURES, BUT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO LOSE POWER. DURING A FORCED LANDING ON ROUGH TERRAIN, THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED. AN EXAM REVEALED THAT THE MIXTURE CONTROL CABLE HAD FAILED WITHIN ITS SHEATH, WHICH ALLOWED THE MIXTURE CONTROL TO MOVE TOWARD THE IDLE-CUTOFF POSITION. THE 1965 MODEL ACFT HAD A TOTAL FLIGHT TIME OF 1962 HRS. THE ENGINE HAD ACCUMULATED 276 HRS SINCE THE LAST MAJOR OVERHAUL.
Probable Cause: FAILURE OF THE MIXTURE CONTROL CABLE, WHICH RESULTED IN A LOSS OF POWER DUE TO FUEL STARVATION DURING A CLIMB AFTER TAKEOFF. A FACTOR RELATED TO THE ACCIDENT WAS: ROUGH TERRAIN IN THE EMERGENCY LANDING AREA.
