SHORTLY AFTER DEPARTING THE AIRFIELD, THE ENG LOST POWER & THE PLT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART IT. HE LANDED IN A SOFT, FRESHLY PLOWED FIELD. AFTER ROLLING ABOUT 50 FT, THE ACFT NOSED OVER. AN EXAM REVEALED THAT THE SHAFT WHICH HOLDS THE FLOAT ASSEMBLY IN THE CARBURETOR CAME LOOSE. THE SAFETY WIRE THAT HELD THE SHAFT IN PLACE WAS BROKEN.
