JUST AFTER LIFTOFF, THE ACFT EXPERIENCED A PARTIAL LOSS OF ENGINE POWER & A FORCED LANDING WAS PERFORMED. THE ACFT TOUCHED DOWN ABOUT 300 FEET FROM THE DEPARTURE END OF THE RUNWAY, THEN COLLIDED WITH A DITCH AND NOSED OVER. POST ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION REVEALED SEVERAL SMALL MELTED BALLS OF SOLDER IN THE CARBURETOR, RESTRICTING THE FUEL FLOW. THE ENGINE HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY INVOLVED IN A CARBURETOR INTAKE FIRE WHICH MAY HAVE CAUSED THE SOLDER TO MELT.
Probable Cause: THE PILOT'S INABILITY TO AVOID UNSUITABLE TERRAIN DURING THE LANDING ROLL AFTER A FORCED LANDING. THE FORCED LANDING WAS MADE NECESSARY BY A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER CAUSED BY A FOREIGN OBJECT RESTRICTING THE FUEL SYSTEM.
