AFTER TAKEOFF, THE ENGINE LOST POWER AT ABOUT 2000 FT MSL. THE PLANE WAS DAMAGED DURING A FORCED LANDING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. WHEN CHECKED AFTER THE ACCIDENT, THE ENGINE WOULD START BUT LOST POWER WHEN ACCELERATED ABOVE 1000 RPM. THE BENDIX SERVO FUEL INJECTOR, MODEL RSA-5AD1, WAS BENCH CHECKED AND WOULD DELIVER ONLY IDLE FUEL FLOW. A FURTHER EXAMINATION REVEALED THAT THE ELASTIC STOP NUT, PN 178491, HAD BACKED OFF OF THE FUEL DIAPHRAGM ASSEMBLY STEM. THIS RESTRICTED THE REGULATOR TRAVEL AND RESULTED IN A LEAN MIXTURE.
