Narrative:THE PILOT ELECTED TO TAKE OFF DURING HIGH SPEED TAXI RUNS AFTER ENCOUNTERING CONTROL DIFFICULTIES. HE ADDED POWER, BUT DID NOT ADD FULL POWER. WHEN HE NOTED HIS SLOW AIRSPEED, HE ADDED FULL POWER AND THE ENGINE SPUTTERED. THE AIRCRAFT MUSHED, THEN STALLED AND IMPACTED THE TERRAIN BEFORE POWER COULD BE REGAINED. LATER TESTING REVEALED THAT THE ELECTRIC BOOST PUMP WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND INSUFFICIENT FUEL FLOW WAS AVAILABLE AT HIGHER POWER SETTINGS.
Probable Cause: AN IMPROPERLY FUNCTIONING FUEL BOOST PUMP.
