Narrative:The pilot stated he applied carburetor heat abeam his inten ded landing touch down point. He turned base leg and increased power to clear the engine. The engine did not respond. The airplane collided with a berm/dirt bank and nosed over inverted. Examination of the airplane wreckage and carburetor air box revealed the carburetor heat and carburetor air box was in the off position. Examination of the engine assembly revealed no evidence of a mechanical malfunction. The engine assembly was removed and transported to an authorized repair facility for an engine run.
