Analysis
The acft was damaged during a forced landing after the eng failed inflight. The plt stated that about 10 miles west of harrison airport the eng began sputtering & running rough. When unable to regain full power the plt attempted to glide to tapan airpark, a grass strip. The acft touched down 300 ft short & hit a furrow during the landing roll. An A&P mechanic inspected the acft & determined that ice in the fuel lines resulted in fuel starvation.
