THE PILOT WAS CRUISING AT 9500 FEET, AT NIGHT, WHEN HE EXPERIENCED A POWER LOSS. HE WAS UNABLE TO REACH AN AIRPORT AND MADE A FORCED LANDING IN THE SURF, NEXT TO THE BEACH. POST ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION BY THE FAA FOUND 5 TO 10 GALLONS OF FUEL IN THE RIGHT TANK AND THE LEFT TANK EMPTY. ADDITIONALLY, THE FUEL LINE TO THE CARBURETOR WAS EMPTY AND THE FUEL SYSTEM WAS INTACT. FURTHER EXAMINATION FAILED TO FIND A REASON FOR THE LACK OF FUEL FLOW TO THE ENGINE.
