THE PILOT STATED THAT WHILE IN A STANDARD RATE TURN, HE LOST ALL ENGINE POWER 'AS IF SOMEONE HAD SHUT OFF THE FUEL.' HIS ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE ENGINE WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. HE STATED THAT THE ENGINE WOULD 'SPUTTER' AND TRY TO START AS HE USED THE PRIMER, BUT HE COULD NOT SUSTAIN LEVEL FLIGHT. HE ELECTED TO EXECUTE A FORCED LANDING IN A CANAL AS THERE WAS NO OTHER SUITABLE TERRAIN. EVIDENCE INDICATED THAT THE CARBURETOR FLOAT HAD STUCK.
