THE OWNER OF THE ACFT HAD NOT FLOWN RECENTLY, SO HE GOT AN INSTRUCTOR PLT (CFI) TO ACCOMPANY HIM. THE OWNER PREFLIGHTED THE ACFT, DID A NORMAL RUN-UP & INITIATED A TAKEOFF. SHORTLY AFTER LIFT-OFF, THE ENG BEGAN TO INTERMITTENTLY RUN ROUGH. IT THEN QUIT ALTOGETHER & A FORCED LANDING WAS MADE IN AN OPEN MUDDY FIELD. WHEN THE NOSEWHEEL WAS LOWERED TO THE GROUND, THE ACFT NOSED OVER. AN EXAM OF THE ACFT & ENG REVEALED THAT THE FUEL SHUT-OFF HANDLE WAS IN THE 'OFF' POSITION. BOTH PLTS REPORTED THAT THEY HAD NOT TOUCHED THE FUEL SHUT-OFF HANDLE EITHER DURING OR AFTER THE FLT.
