Analysis
While taking off from a touch-&-go landing, the eng failed to develope full power. The instructor plt (CFI) pulled the throttle back to abort the takeoff, but the RPM would not reduce to idle. Subsequently, the acft continued aprx 500 ft past the end of the rwy, encountered a soft spot (mud) & nosed over. An exam of the carburetor revealed that the primary venturi retainer clips, p/n 29-113, had failed & allowed the primary venturi to move from its mounting position.
