THE PILOT WAS COMPLETING A VFR FLIGHT. HE REPORTED THAT WHILE ON THE DOWNWIND LEG THE AIRPLANE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER. DURING THE SUBSEQUENT FORCED LANDING ROLLOUT, THE AIRPLANE COLLIDED WITH A BERM. THE ENGINE WAS DISSEMBLED AND NO SIGNIFICANT ANOMALIES COULD BE FOUND THAT WOULD CAUSE THE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. SAFETY BOARD INVESTIGATORS COULD NOT EXAMINE THE AIRPLANE'S FUEL BECAUSE THE PILOT DRAINED ALL THE FUEL DURING THE RETRIEVAL PROCESS.
Probable Cause: the cause of the loss of engine power could not be determined. The dirt berm was a factor in this accident.
