Analysis
Just after takeoff the engine lost power. A forced landing was made in a field where the airplane collided with rough terrain. Inspection of the engine revealed evidence of corrosion in the main fuel sump bowl and on the fuel injection throttle body fuel screen. The main fuel sump bowl screen was damaged and installed upside down. There were no other noted mechanical failures or malfunctions.
