Probable cause
An improperly adjusted carburetor and improper maintenance. Factors include an earthen berm which the aircraft struck during the landing roll.
Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The pilot of the Boeing, stearman, E-75 was at low altitude on final approach when he experienced a total loss of engine power. The pilot was able to touchdown safely in a field just short of the runway, but the aircraft nosed over when the left landing gear hit a two foot high embankment. The pilot stated that the aircraft, which was being flown for the first time after restoration, was running rich. He said that when he moved the throttle forward, out of idle, the engine 'loaded up' and quit.
