Narrative:After reaching 12,500 ft altitude, the private pilot attempted to adjust the boost control of the experimental amateur-built airplane's engine. When he did so, the engine experienced a total loss of power. The pilot subsequently performed a forced landing to a field. A postaccident examination of the engine revealed no anomalies. The examination revealed that the airplane was powered by an aircraft engine that was modified to employ a belt-driven automotive centrifugal supercharger. Due to the experimental nature of the supercharger installation, no determination could be made regarding its installation or operation; however, no outward signs of a failure or malfunction were observed. Based on the available evidence, the reason for the loss of engine power could not be determined.
Probable Cause: A total loss of engine power for reasons that could not be determined based on the available information.
