THE ACFT MADE A FORCED LANDING IN A POTATO FIELD AND NOSED OVER AFTER THE ENGINE LOST POWER. THE PLT SAID SHE USED CARBURETOR HEAT WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED RUNNING ROUGH. THE ENGINE DID NOT IMMEDIATELY IMPROVE BUT WAS RUNNING IN SURGES FROM 1800-2200 RPM. THE PLT CUT THE CARB HEAT OFF AND THE ENGINE GOT WORSE. AT ONE POINT THE RPM IMPROVED THEN WORSENED DRAMATICALLY. AFTER A SHORT WHILE THE ENGINE DIED. POST ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION AND INSPECTION FOUND THE ENGINE NORMAL.
