THE PLT REPORTED THAT AS HE WAS RETURNING TO THE ARPT FROM A LOCAL FLT, HE MADE A DESCENDING TURN FROM 2500 FT MSL TO LOSE ALT, HE APPLIED CARB HEAT BEFORE RETARDING THE THROTTLE & CLEARED THE ENG AFTER ABOUT 180 DEG OF TURN. AFTER ABOUT ANOTHER 180 DEG OF TURN, HE ADVANCED THE THROTTLE, BUT GOT NO RESPONSE FROM THE ENG. THE PLT WAS UNABLE TO GLIDE TO THE RWY, SO HE LANDED IN AN OPEN AREA. HE WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE ACFT BEFORE COLLIDING WITH TWO TREES. AN INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE ACFT HAD BEEN RESTORED & HAD ACCUMULATED AN ADDITIONAL 18 HRS OF FLT TIME. THE ORIGINAL FUEL TANK CAPS HAD BEEN REPLACED WITH NEW, UNVENTED CAPS.
