## Analysis

AFTER A LOSS OF ENG POWER, THE PLT MADE A FORCED LANDING ON A STREET. WHILE LANDING, THE TIP OF THE VERTICAL STABILIZER SNAGGED A GUY WIRE WHICH CROSSED THE STREET. THE AIRCRAFT OWNER STATED THAT THE ELECTRICAL FUEL PUMP NEEDED A ROTOR & BODY KIT. HE PURCHASED A KIT THAT DID NOT HAVE A YELLOW OVERHAUL TAG. THE OPERATOR'S PERSONNEL THEN OVERHAULED, ASSEMBLED & INSTALLED THE FUEL PUMP. THE OPERATOR WAS NOT AN FAA CERTIFIED ACCESSORY REPAIR STATION. NUMEROUS DISCREPANCIES WERE FOUND CONCERNING THE ELCTRIC FUEL PUMP, INCLUDING A MISSING CARBON VANE. THE VANE WAS FOUND IN THE ENGINE DRIVEN FUEL PUMP SCREEN.
