The airplane was descending after jumpers had departed the airplane in a parachute jumping (skydiving) activity. For the descent, the pilot had reduced the power. When she attempted to increase power, she found that the engine had sustained a total loss of power. During a forced landing, the airplane hit a wire before touchdown, then nosed over in soft terrain. An examination of the carburetor revealed that it was worn beyond specifications. The engine had 2,384 hours of time in service and 224 hours since the last inspection.
