Read the full NTSB narrative

WHILE ON FINAL APPROACH FOR LANDING THE PILOT ADVANCED THE THROTTLE TO ADJUST HIS FINAL APPROACH PATH AND THE ENGINE LOST POWER. THE AIRCRAFT IMPACTED THE GROUND SHORT OF THE RUNWAY AND FLIPPED INVERTED. THE ENGINE WAS LATER TEST RUN AND PERFORMED TO MANUFACTURERS SPECIFICATIONS. HOWEVER, THE CARBURETOR AIRBOX WHICH REGULATES THE CARBURETOR HEAT WAS IMPROPERLY REPAIRED BY REDRILLING A HOLE IN THE CONTROL ARM ATTACHMENT POINT. IT COULD NOT BE DETERMINED WHAT EFFECT THIS HAD UPON THE OPERATION OF THE CARBURETOR HEAT CONTROL DUE TO THE DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT.
