Analysis
On a final leg of a x-country flt, the eng of the acft began to faulter finally quitting a few minutes later. The subsequent forced landing resulted in the acft nosing over. An inspection of the acft revealed a residual amt of fuel in the wing fuel tanks. Additional inspection of the eng systems revealed a quantity of water within the carburetor fuel bowl. The plt reportedly encountered a simular eng faultering on the first leg of the x-country flt. A greater fuel quantity was available on this earlier leg, and no total loss of pwr was experienced.
