THE PILOT STATED AFTER THE THIRD PARACHUTE JUMPER EXITED THE AIRCRAFT, HE '...CONTINUED AT REDUCED POWER AND STARTED TO GLIDE DOWN...FOR LANDING. AS I WAS STARTING A LONG FINAL APPROACH I SAW THAT I WOULD NEED POWER TO MAINTAIN THE GLIDE SLOPE. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE WHEN I ADVANCED THE THROTTLE.' ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE ENGINE WERE UNSUCCESSFUL AND THE PILOT MADE A FORCED LANDING. A POST-ACCIDENT ENGINE RUN WAS PERFORMED. THE FAA INSPECTOR STATED THE ENGINE STARTED NORMALLY AND RAN SMOOTHLY DURING THE TEST. IMPACT DAMAGE TO THE PROPELLER PRECLUDED A FULL POWER RUN-UP. TEMPERATURE AND DEW POINT CONDITIONS WERE FAVORABLE FOR SERIOUS CARBURETOR ICING AT GLIDE POWER SETTINGS.
