Narrative:THE ACFT HAD NOT BEEN FLOWN FOR ABOUT 5 YRS. THE PLT, WHO WAS A MECHANIC, PERFORMED AN ENG GROUND RUN & THE ENG STOPPED AFTER HE NOTED A FUEL FLOW PROBLEM. HE EXAMINED THE ENG & FOUND THAT THE FUEL INJECTORS WERE CLOGGED WITH CORROSION. THEY WERE CLEANED, & AFTERWARDS, THE ENG WAS GROUND RUN FOR APRX 30 MIN AT SEVERAL POWER SETTING & IT PERFORMED WITHOUT INCIDENT. BEFORE TAKING OFF ON A TEST FLT, ANOTHER GROUND RUN-UP WAS MADE. DURING TAKEOFF AT ABOUT 200 FT AGL, THE ENG LOST POWER. AT THAT TIME, THE FUEL GAGE WAS REPORTEDLY PEGGED, INDICATING BLOCKAGE. THE ACFT WAS THEN LANDED IN A MATURE CORN FIELD & WAS DAMAGED. AN EXAM OF THE ENG REVEALED CORROSION IN THE FUEL LINES.
