The pilot's improper preflight inspection resulting in a total loss of engine power due to water ingestion, a forced landing to none suitable soft ground, and a nose over.

Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot stated that the airplane was topped off with 100 low lead fuel before departing. The fuel sumps were drained before and after the airplane was refueled. The pilot stated that he departed, climbed to 1,400 feet and leveled the airplane off in cruise flight. After about 10 minutes the engine started to sputter, the engine lost power, and the propeller stopped. The pilot attempted an engine restart, which was unsuccessful. The pilot made a forced landing to a sunflower field and the airplane nosed over during the landing roll in the soft dirt. Examination of the airplane after the accident revealed the left wing and engine firewall received structural damage. Examination of the airplane at the crash site by the FAA revealed continuity of the gear train. A field inspection of the fuel system revealed approximately four to six ounces of water when the fuel line was disconnected at the carburetor and the firewall fuel strainer was drained into a clear container. Water was also observed in the primer system.
